What I like about java is it’s consistency. It’s not a great language but it’s a solid tool. It’s no trying to do anything brave, just steadily moves in the right direction.
Python is the exact opposite. There are at least 3 competing tools for everything, multiple ways to install packages, python 3 is not backwards compatible. Just setting up the environment is needlessly painful. It’s not a bad language but a terrible tool.
Been there…
Oh, I thought you meant that gnome disks should be installed by default.
I said drives should mount on boot by default because it’s basic functionality.
Usually it’s something you set up during installation. Linux philosophy is “don’t do anything the user doesn’t want to do”. If someone wants to mount a drive he/she will set it up. But again, this will depend on the distro. There’s no default for every possible Linux setup.
Some distros use KDE which is Qt which means that to install a gnome app (which uses gtk) you need to also install shitload of other dependencies. Fresh installs usually don’t mix KDE and Gnome apps. There a different default for them. So saying that a Gnome app should be default for Linux doesn’t make much sense.
I mainly use Gnome apps and this is what I’m getting on my system:
apt-get install konsole

On KDE system you will see the same for any gnome tool.
Why this can’t just be default
Because not all distributions use gnome. Some distributions try to install as many graphical tools as they can and other distributions try to minimize the size of the install and let users decide what tools they want installed. Talking about defaults applications in Linux doesn’t make much sense. Each distro is free to choose the apps they want to include or not.
Text files are not hard to read. It’s text.
Exactly this. Most people will just keep using it. The people that do know updates are important are just going to buy a new laptop. Tiny % will ask a friend to install Linux on their laptop. Like 15 people will try to install Linux themselves on the day windows 10 dies.
Computers are hard to the computer illiterate.
We’re about to be flooded with ex windows users in a few short months
No, we’re not.
What’s difficult about Debian?
You can disable download in a lemmy instance. My instance doesn’t have downvotes.
What opinions do you see expressed on SO? Maybe we’re searching for different things there but all I see are answers that are either correct or not. If someone misunderstood the questions and the answers is not correct it gets downvoted. But I don’t know, maybe others use SO for things like “what’s your favorite distro?” or “Is AWS better then Azure?”.
It’s because all the questions have already been answered. How many times can you answer how to reverse an array in javascript?
I use SO daily and never seen anything like you describe there. All I see is that incorrect answers are down voted. I don’t know, maybe I just don’t pay attention to the “verbiage”. I look at the code sample and move on. In the end, it’s not a forum. I’m not there to read opinions.
Personally, I find xkill quite graceful.
What about Madison SG?
What if you set out with the idea of starting socialist utopia on a new planet and get there to find booming corporate dystopia?
So offended! It’s GNU/Linux.
