Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Or how about
I keep telling Linux is still not for common home use for users who are in between power users and people only using it for browsing. This will get me downvotes here on Lemmy all the time . Linux edge lords are their own bubble.
All but one of your points here appear to be your lack of understanding Linux and/or user error. Point 4 (2) is understandable due to Windows just being the default and most popular choice.
Even point 4 is something I have never experienced, and is probably also lack of understanding.
A filesystem is either mounted or it isn't. Mounted for one program but not for another doesn't exist. If they don't see it in the filepicker, they probably just don't know the mount point.
Point 4 is listed twice in the comment. So I used "4 (2)" to point out what I was responding to. The second point 4.
And that’s exactly the fucking point. It’s a terrible idea to tell people to switch. Cause they don’t understand it.
That's not a very strong argument.
When you started a job, did you understand it all? When you first started using Windows, Android or iOS, did you understand it all? No you didn't. As with anything you've never used or done before, you won't understand the ins and outs or know what to do in many situations. You learn about them. I certainly didn't know much about Linux when I started using it. In an IT environment, I had to learn. I work with Windows and Linux on a daily basis. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I use both on my personal devices.
You wanna know what my job pays me to do? Create and edit Visual Studio solutions. Checkmate atheists.
No. But starting a job pays me. Changing OS over a minor feature is a completely insane waste of my time. You are aware of the context of this post right??
For point 2, that is true and improving. Always do some research about program compatibility before completely changing your computer's OS.
For point 3. Programs are generally installed in
/usr/bin
and~/.var/app
for Flatpaks (analogous to MS Store). Much easier than finding where MS store apps are installed.Never come across point 4, so I can't dismiss it.
As with 2, depends on your usecase
GNOME Disk manager (comes with Fedora and Ubuntu) has options to mount drives to arbitrary locations if needed.
I understand your argument but making points like these don't really contribute to the discussion.
