    I agree with @poVoq@lemmy.ml
    What a Linux desktop needs is a user, who’s able to think and who not assumes that it has to work the way he is used to from Windows. Many are simply unwilling to learn and therefore reject Linux.

        oh boy … this “memory-unsafe”-argument again 🤦
        Even with a Windows looking desktop UI and usage of AppImages, it’s still no Windows! There are no .exe-Files for drivers and games. There is no Microsoft account you need to login to. There is no “installer” who ask for the path you want to install your program.

        appimage is easy for me now, but it took me forever 2 years ago to figure out that --no-sandbox addition needed and i still am annoyed that I often have a problem getting the icon on a menu or panel.
        i think we should be open to criticism so that we can improve Linux and thereby starve the BigTech beast. If you have weeds in your garden, don’t make excuses for them, yank them out or allow them to grow in more appropriate places.

            Since electron was apgraded or fixed, that appendage is no longer needed. I read that all of those appimages were made using electron. I did have AppImageLauncher and used it a first, but forgot about it. No longer have it.
