I live in the countryside of Minas and I can get the same 1000mbps speeds for less than 20 USD, the quality of smaller ISP has become pretty good in the last decade.
Plus having to basically rely on a built-in app database/store to easily install apps… Kinda stinks to me, and not being able to simply download an installer from a website and having the program, whatever program, up and running reliably within a minute, the concept seems ridiculous… I’m not sure, I could be really spoiled by Windows 10, or simply too used to it.
I’m not trying to make fun of you but that is just too funny. Download crap from website is way worse not only by security standard but for the convenience aspect, is so bad that even Windows have app stores.
I agree with you on that. I started using only Linux in january and I have no problems, but before migrating I studied Linux for about a year, learning docker, using WSL, using FOSS apps on windows, using chocolatey and winget to install/updating anything. My workflow and habits was more Linux like than windows so when I finally migrate I had no surprises.
People don't like changes, most don't even have their own principles to follow. For most piracy is just the most convenient thing, same for communities, they go to r/piracy or whatever just because is convenient. When the community moves to another place the convinience also lower so they react to the change.
