Yeah that’s just radarr devs not actually packaging the thing.

It's not about blame. From a user's perspective, it doesn't matter who is to blame. The bottom line is that Linux is harder to use in a lot of scenarios. Torvalds was right: it's going to take Valve to statically link everything and force developers to use the same libraries. Then it's trivially easy for devs to maintain a .elf distribution which can be executed across all Valve-compliant Linux distros.

IMHO, the UX is bad, but the user base is also repellant. It's further left than Reddit so most people who jump in bounce right off. That's going to be difficult to change organically. Especially because most users respond to this with "good." So there's definitely no appetite to appeal to a wider audience. I predict Lemmy will become increasingly ideologically partisan and isolated.

I agree with Linus Torvalds. Linux is too fragmented. This makes consistent software deployment and support expensive and far too varied. Maintaining documentation alone requires an unlimited number of distros. From a user's perspective, I really think Linux needs a universal install method like .exe. No user should ever need to use the CLI install software, no matter their distribution. Radarr, for example, is a very popular home media server application. It is one-click install on Windows. It is fucked on Linux.

The average person does not mount network drives themselves.

NAS is incredibly common these days. Backing up data is mainstream now. Not 100% of laypeople use NAS, of course, but many.

I haven't made the switch yet for the gaming PC because of Apex Legends, Fornite, and Valorant. Also, my Fanatec peripherals don't work with Linux. Also, Nvidia frame gen doesn't currently appear supported.

Is this community just popular opinions? Every comment agrees with OP.

You're not wrong, but for us fans, the movies were cut to the fucking bone. Relentlessly paced. Only the absolute essentials were on screen, to an almost exhausting degree. He struck a perfect balance between laypeople and fans, but I would love a longer version.

I fully agree. If ever movies needed a director's cut, it's Villeneuve's. I'm about to piss you right off. Tim Blake Nelson's scenes were cut from Part Two. He was rumoured to have been Count Fenring. He was PERFECTLY cast. Fenring was such an interesting character.
