Careful, Germans take it seriously.

As I indicated, please check (articles and the documentations of) font renderers at this point.

At this point I'm not expert enough to explain more details. You can check font renderers.

Below is what's in my mind but it's just a guess.

In typical PC architectures you have IO between the storage and the RAM, and then there's the copying from the RAM to the VRAM, and editors maybe also want copying from the VRAM to RAM for decoration purposes etc.

AFAIK it's the copy cost for the memory. GPU makes sense only when the hardware allows this copy to go away. Generally, desktop PCs don't have such specialized hardware.

GPU-accelerated renderer.

There's a reason why GUIs don't render fonts in the GPU.

Poor workflow. Switching applications is horrible if you have 4 windows open in one desktop. Even gnome is far better at that.

You write like one can do stuff on Linux with one command.

However, Linux enthusiasts simultaneously tell the user to spend time troubleshooting problems on their own, and say that's a given.

It's a double standard I see on the web.

Using Windows I can tolerate most of their shit. But their Administor stuff and security model in general..

Agreed. If flatpak can continue to gain more control around GUI and hardware, I would finally be able to hop on the wagon completely.

Kinoite shows the future of noob Linux I think, but it's still new and has some rough edges. I installed it on an ARM and couldn't make it wake up from sleep.

I prefer Fedora. I think Fedora lost the war on easy Linux branding to Ubuntu 15 years ago.
