I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let's face it... it sucks.

Actually, it's worse than that. Much of Linux's UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.

No. I don't want Linux to be more Windows-like. But I do want the most common Linux desktops to behave in a way that PC-literate folks can wrap their mind around — and do so from minute zero

Hey guys, Windows is dominant so we need things to be designed more like Windows!

If we wanted a Windows experience we'd use Windows am I right? It's painful enough I have to use it for work, at least let me have a better time at home.
