It's bloat, unnecessary junk that's part of their ecosystem. Instead of having specialized apps, you have one app that does everything; and of course every other brand has to have their own, even fucking musk wants it for twitter.

This creates two problems, first it strains your hardware for no reason, second it creates dozens of walled gardens that don't interoperate, if you want to chat with your steam friends, you need to go on steam, if you want to play your games, you need to open the right launcher; this is the same shit apple is getting prosecuted for by the EU right now.

Sounds good to me. It's annoying that connecting to a store and a social media platform has become so normalized. I just want to play a game.

That 10% is only there so that you can participate and feel involved; awards are mostly money schemes and industry people patting each other on the back.

Tilda is barely maintained anymore, you can get Tilix that has the same quake like feature. You can also add the quake terminal extension to your favorite alternative if you use gnome.

Installing things on linux is generally the same as phones. There's a shop-like GUI where you can look up your applications and get them, they'll also update automatically.

If the software isn't in your distribution repository, that's when it starts to be like windows, you need to hunt it down and either get an appimage or something like that, or build and compile it yourself.

Yeah sorta. First you gotta know what the problem is, good luck getting the average user to figure out the UI looks off because of the padding. Then you gotta know where and how you need to change it to make it better.

Customizing is cool for power users that like to fiddle with their settings, however it can't replace good defaults; not that I have anything against the defaults in this case...

Defaults matter, most people never bother customizing.

Use diff patches and automate with some bash scripting.

Nautilus has empty space on the sides these days to paste.
