So I'd like to welcome the author to make more apps based on FOSS.
We're getting there. I run Linux Mint with an XFCE desktop -- an intentionally minimal setup. The system performs automatic updates and the desktop layout/experience resembles older Windows desktops before Microsoft began "improving" things. No ads, no AI.
I'm by no means an end user, but in Linux I see incremental progress toward meeting the needs of that audience. And just in time too, now that Microsoft is more aggressively enshittifying Windows.
What's really missing are online fora able to help end users adjust to Linux -- helpful without being superior or condescending. Certainly true for Windows, not yet true for Linux.
I do have a Linux box, and I only have complaints about small things. Double screen works, VSCode works, Firefox works too. Not much to complaint for a personal dev box. The ability to just `apt install` a bunch of stuffs and then start compiling is pretty nice.
But again, I'm pragmatic, so if I'm doing something Windows related, I'd definitely use my Windows box.
claude-code actually does this really well, having used it to set up gnome on my phone, and fix all my problems without having to learn anything
That can be a problem with Linux but in my experience searching for Windows help is usually not good either.
