      I’ve also been able to find 99% of what I need through discover.

      If what you need is Discord and Chrome, sure.

      When you need specific drivers things change dramatically. And some packages technically exist as Flatpaks, but with permission issues that no regular user is ever fixing

        if you need specific drivers that arent in a generic kernel you’re already out of everyday user territory even on a normal distro.

          People will say some absurd statement like this one and then pretend to be confused when Linux adoption fails to grow faster.

            Its OK for them to step out of everyday user territory no one is saying they can’t. Its just that installing drivers on Linux is not common.

            The nvidia driver is the only thing I can think that an average user would need to install and that is shipped pre installed in most distros.

            Also I’m not confused Linux isn’t growing fast enough. I’m surprised limux is growing as fast as it is. Linux is growing at an insane rate.

        That’s why we got dem tar and dnf

        And also that’s just not true. There’s also Space Cadet Pinball

          On Fedora, sure. Not Bazzite, on Bazzite you’d need distrobox to use it - users barely understand what Linux is, good luck with distrobox instructions.
