One thing that Linux and OSS often gets wrong
One thing I think a lot of open source software gets wrong is fun and joy of use. For example, I hate Microsoft Office with their addition of CoPilot and adding features no one asked for. However, it looks and feels approximately 10x better than Libre Office which is touted as the ultimate replacement. I have similar feelings with most software packages found on Linux when compared to their Windows (or especially macOS) equivalents. They are usually “better” in some way, but feel like the human aspect of it was left in the dust, and sometimes that has to count for something.
I’m sure a lot of people will point out how “customizable” a lot of this stuff is and I get it but I’m speaking more about the general vibe of using OSS vs. paid or proprietary software on other operating systems. Not your pretty KDE theme.
