they kinda have a point. last time i was a regular linux user(2009), i had to download repostiories for Adobe Acrobat and GIMP and run a script to instlal the programs.
Like, I understand the GNU people are like fuck non nerds GUI is for losers but I dunno how your average prole can use it for day to day necessities (unless linux has gotten better on accessibility)
Linux in 2021 is a completely different thing, if your hardware is compatible you're basically good to go. Even if you don't switch to it if you have a spare USB stick of like 4+ GB you can try out various distros by booting off the USB stick itself. You can test compatibility (something the anti-linux reactionaries don't acknowledge) to ensure your stuff is good to go if you're planning to install, or you can just use it as a "plug-and-play" Linux stick for any computer you're at.
They've a point if we're actually talking about 2009 but you really need to give Linux another try! Every distro has a literal app store, with a nice interface and everything, where you can install all your apps and update them
The Chinese distro Deepin now even lets users install Android apps from their app store!
