This is the start of corporations trying to completely phase out owning your own hardware.
This needs to fail hard or it will spread to every other major vendor. But in this timeline every evil deed seems to succeed and be rewarded. Be sure to hoard your old hardware, you’ll likely need it later.
It’s always fun when there’s a GUI tool for something (in my case, trying to set up wireguard with gnome) that just doesn’t work, and all the posts online about it just say “yeah that’s literally never worked, here’s the cli command”
Or colour profiles for your monitor in Wayland, you can change them in the gui but nothing will ever apply.
I find myself having trust issues with Linux GUI tools as actually functioning seems to be optional. But the switches sure look pretty…
If we want the year of the Linux desktop to actually happen we need to have good GUI tools for almost everything. The second you say “command line” most people’s eyes glaze over and they say they’ll stick with Windows. Believe it or not guys, most people just want something that functions out of the box and they don’t want to mess with it.
