My limited experience with Bazzite left a sour taste in my mouth. Couldn’t install themes because the dir where themes installed for KDE was locked down.
Noe I’m sure this is fixable. But that goes back to lack of documentation. And admittedly, lack of me researching further. I stuck with my Arch install because it’s comfortable and familiar.
I think one of the biggest hurdles for Linux is that Windows comes preinstalled. People are lazy, and want things to just work.
If companies could sell systems at a reasonable, competitive price, with Linux preinstalled; I do believe we could see folks use it.
The average user does not see a computer the same way a tech-savvy individual does. They want to push the buttons and the computer do the thing.
Sure steam has helped make it more viable for game enjoying folks to hop on board, even if it isn’t just click and play for every game; it has made strides.
We also need support from big entities, but that is likely an uphill battle. For as much as I love open source software, and the entire ecosystem surrounding open software standards; we have players like Microsoft, adobe, and I am sure more that will push back. Including DRM and Anti-Cheat from other companies as well.
The average user isn’t going to know, let alone fight things like kernel level anti-cheat, DRM, and closed standards.
Unfortunately not everyone has the will, the time, or the intelligence to learn something new.
And add in many folks inability to deal with change well.
This is just some of my thoughts on the subject…
This was a long time ago, this isn’t something that was there when I had tried with KDE on an Atomic distro.
And I wasn’t asking for anyone to solve it for me. Appreciate the screenshots.
