I’m just screwing around with the OS, but I have to say, I’m a bit perplexed.
I wanted to install GIMP and LibreOffice, so I clicked on the AppCenter only to find out it couldn’t find either of them. Which is bizzarre, because I can install both using apt just fine. As it turns out, the AppCenter only has 51 curated applications, completely ignoring the abundance of programs already available in the Ubuntu repositories, making the AppCenter a bit useless.
Then there’s the desktop. I’m not entirely sure why I’m not allowed to have icons on it. macOS has desktop icons. As does Windows. Hell, almost every OS with a GUI does. Apparently, there’s something called Elementary Tweaks which lets you enable them, but why would anyone have to jump through hoops to enable this basic functionality?
I guess I just don’t understand who this OS is meant for.
Did OP edit their post? I don’t see any of that aggressiveness there now, nor is the word stupid in the post.
Lemmy strikes again with a 2 year old post, probably got edited a while ago ;)
Does Lemmy really push older posts in the algorithm if you edit them? That seems a little flawed.
Maybe this is the algorithm’s way of reminding us to be excellent to each other 😎
