So Linux is just going to magically appear on your computer is it?

[–] PrincessTardigrade@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Not to mention all the dependencies for everything, I've gone multiple layers deep trying to install dependencies for the dependencies just to use a single module. Tbf I've mostly used Linux for bioinformatics so perhaps the problem for me is biologists creating software for other biologists and none are truly computer scientists (including myself)

It very much depends on the build of Linux you're getting but there's definitely quite a lot of builds out there that were designed for enthusiasts, where after you've installed it you have to spend the next several hours configuring everything. Your average computer user has very limited patience for this assuming they're prepared to even do it at all.

I bet that 99% of people don't even really know how you would go about installing a new operating system. It's not exactly intuitive.
