        Swapping out a large listmof unsolvable problems, bugs, and limitations for a smaller lost of very doable problems.

        And I say that as a 24 years Linux user who seriously only sees shit getting worse on the other side every time

          The average user wants their computer to just work, they want to open up their new Bluetooth headphones that their son/ grandson bought them and it connects as expected. Your definition of problem and what is solvable is very different to theirs

            That’s funny. I’m listening right now to Spotify music on my Bluetooth headset from my Linux desktop. I got like 5 different bluetooth headsets that I use on three different computers, all works flawlessly.

            So I guess I could say that that is actually not a problem?

            Edit: to clarify: Bluetooth worked immediately and out of the box on each of my computers, a desktop and two different laptops. All I needed to do was pair the devices and go time. I can pair whatever Bluetooth device that I want.

            Then what are you doing here in the comments of an article about yet another software company abusing it’s users for the nth time? Then go give your private data willingly to these companies.

            I don’t directly have a problem with closed source software if it wasn’t for they fact that any closed source software product that gets big gets abused and riddled with ads.

            That’s why, Linux.

            Nobody wants to deal with Windows either. It’s just the monopoly that has been pushed onto us that we’ve been forced to get used to.
