You are going to get lots of downvotes, and this comment will too.
Linux on desktop has come a long way in usability, but it is still far behind Windows/Mac. It has lots of small issues that add up to a frustrating experience for mainstream users.
It is good for power users who don’t mind tweaking and going to the terminal.
It is ok for users who perform very simple tasks (e.g web browsing), and occasionally have the support from power users.
But for most people in between, it is a struggle. I dislike Windows and I have tried migrating to Linux many times, there is always something that requires unnecessary effort to make it work the way I need.

Warning on the box:
Not suitable for households with pets or young kids.
4·2 months agoNo. My post got 40% down votes. One particular user insisted that I was using Samsung flaws as an excuse to like the iPhone. That I should admit that I just wanted an iPhone and my criticism towards Android were invalid.
I felt like talking to cultists. But I don’t think mods needed to involve. Lemmy is what it is.
You are right. I made a post about why I liked my iPhone in the Apple Enthusiasts community, and some Lemmy users were furious.
Voyager is great.
Most people buy the Pixel phones for its good camera. So I wonder if installing a different OS would affect the camera quality.
Does its camera app work well? Would it lack the nice HDR post proccesing most modern phones have?
11·2 months agoAppreciate open source projects, but…
The descriptions on its Github page looks heavily AI generated. It uses a whole lot of words to say very few things.
Would benefit from having a few screenshots instead of walls of text.
Also, it is just a Lemmy client for now, so just call it one instead of “connect to the fediverse”.
Same story back when it was called the Nexus.
2·4 months agoI don’t like the new art style.
I disagree.
- Mbin’s terminology (inherited from Kbin) is annoying. Thread vs post vs magazine, boost vs upvote etc are unconventional and annoying.
- No default sort option. Every time I want to see new posts, I have to manually select “new”
- User instance and community instance are hidden
- Difficult to manage/view subscribed magazines
- Image upload dialogue is confusing
Lemmy has alternative UI such as Voyager and Photon, they are way ahead of Mbin in terms of look and feel.
What do you like about Mbin’s UX?
Firefox
!firefox@lemmy.ml - 16.8k subscribers
!firefox@lemmy.world - 3.58k subscribers
!firefox@fedia.io - 1.06k subscribers
I can’t quite decide whether to consolidate LW and Fedia for the community. LW has more subscribers, but Fedia is a little more active.
I’m also thinking of asking active users of !firefox@lemmy.ml to post on LW instead.
I want to use Mbin, but all Mbin instances are federated with tankie instances, including hexbear.
And Mbin doesn’t make it easy to see user/community instance.
Not video, but I will try to explain it in a simple way:
Lemmy instances are individual websites that run the Lemmy software. These instances are operated by different people or organizations and can have their own unique topics, rules, and communities.
Lemmy instances federate using the ActivityPub protocol. This protocol allows different servers, or instances, to communicate and share data such as posts, comments, and community interactions.
Different instances use the same software, but are managed by different admins.
For more detail about the admin of lemmy.ml, please refer to this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16239454
For people who want to avoid all content from lemmy.ml, including posts and comments:
I use lemmy.cafe now because it has defederated with lemmy.ml.
As a lemmy.cafe user, I don’t see any post/comment from lemmy.ml users at all.
Communities on lemmy.cafe are invisible to lemmy.ml users, so I would recommend creating more communities there.
Use the title “I need help with Windows 11”.
Linux users will flood the comment section.
