I also had the same experience; sometimes the flatpak package is the most useful one, since its newer Version now supports feature X by default.
Meta: This is a great meme in text form. This shows memes do not always have to include images.
in other words your impression of a microsoft run website with the least foss example of git, since switching to linux
Correct! It's where web searches bring me so it's what I use until I git gud enough to learn how to find things better.
While I do see most of the listed stuff happened to me before, they only appear once in a while and it's often just one sentence in the list is true. I think OP is trying to make an exaggerating slander where it's extremely unlucky to have more than 5 sentences is right
Truer words have never been spoken before
Yeah you want to know the funny thing: I ended up on Github a lot when I was new to Linux, but that has happened less and less over time and I think it's due to two unrelated factors:
-
I have assimilated. As a Microsoft emigrant, I was used to doing things a certain way, there were things I didn't know about Linux, I hadn't really chosen the hardware I owned for Linux compatibility, etc. So I kept having to go get weird device drivers and weird little software packages to work on my distro and open my old files and such. But as I've gotten used to the ecosystem, replaced my old hardware with that which is Linux compatible out of the box etc. I've needed to do something weird less and less often.
-
Flatpak and Appimages have risen in popularity. It's easier to get the software you need, that runs on your distro, that is up to date and modern, even if it's not very popular. Because a variety of software is available in these formats it's easy to get what I need, be it commercial software, esoteric little stuff for my niche pastimes, etc.
