Ok so we went from talking about how intuitive/easy to use it is to how it looks. Looks are much more subjective and also depend greatly on theming even if it’s just using a light or dark theme.

Back to the original question of is it intuitive. For a windows user trying Linux for the first time, most would prefer a DE with a start bar on the bottom by default, some might prefer the look of older versions of windows. (Remember that widows 8 and 11 had/have terrible adoption rates). And others really won’t care much but will just want to be able to quickly find their apps.

I was a windows user for a long time. I only stopped at windows 10 cause I was sock of ads and candy crush soda saga acting like it was a core component of the OS. When I ran windows 8, the first thing I did was install an app that made the start menu look like windows 7. When I first tried gnome I’m 2012 it was so weird. It felt like if apple had made windows 8 with a side dock and a start button that took over the whole screen and these large buttons with a lot of wasted space with long transitions that my computer couldn’t really render.

I switched to XFCE and loved it, thought this was more windows like. It did seem to be lacking some features and didn’t look as modern but it was so much easier to use i liked it more. then I switched to KDE and thought this is what windows wants to be. I also loved all the settings that were configurable and how much control I had over the look.

I still use gnome for work (gnome DE is required) and have KDE on my personal and I got to say how much more productive I am with KDE over gnome.

Maybe I’ve been using KDE too much, but what’s unintuitive about it?

I parboil my rice for 5 mins and then wash them before cooking after reading a UK guide that said it might reduce arsenic and heavy metals.

It is in the USA, there is a standard hole that they attach to.

Its not as easy as replacing a lightbulb but about as easy as upgrading PC components.

Holy shit that’s crazy. Why doesn’t Australia have toilets that you can remove from the floor? If you want to replace a toilet you gotta beat it with a mallet?

Don’t tell me how to treat my ass!

I’ve had this issue a while ago and it’s one of the reasons I switched to Voyager

I used an old school audio only baby monitor in my daughters nursery. I never needed a live video feed. The baby crying was more than enough reason to go check on her. And if the power went out, it didn’t need WiFi and had a builtin battery backup. Also the range was quite good, I could use it from a few neighbors houses away.

That’s just vibe couping

…too late for me

In Tropico, this normally ends badly for El Presidente.

Ima plead the 1st and just laugh.

Its more like tragic Irony.

Tragic irony, a prominent literary device, involves a poignant disjunction between the audience’s awareness of critical information and the obliviousness of the characters within a narrative.

I’ll have to watch that movie. But for now, I’m just going to fucking speak my mind.

I’d argue that any time any word is banned by any government, it’s scary.
