I love Linux and all it stands for, but Desktop is just not a good tool.

A good tool gets out of the way. You don't know it's there: it requires little maintenance and does not impede the act of creation.

The problem with Linux Desktop is that its maintenance becomes the hobby. The tool becomes the purpose. That's a bad tool, and tangentially, it serves as a warning to the Nostr community. What all you hard-working people are creating is a means, not an end. The key to good design structure, as far as I see it.

I’ve run Linux for over 30 years. When it doesn’t blow up at random and require maintenance time, I’ll use it exclusively. Until then, I’ll work under macOS.
