"What's worse, you can just as easily run them under Windows' WSL. So what's the point of having Linux installed on your computer in the first place?". To me it doesn't matter if I am running an application in a slightly less efficient manner. The reason I run the app on linux is because i want control over my computer. You will never get that with Microsoft and Apple.
The fact that everything I want works well and the UI/UX is decades ahead is just a bonus.
This is absolute nonsense that highlights a complete ignorance of Linux, and classifying a certain strategy by most modern distros as a fundamental flaw that would prevent anything from ever being cross compatible.
I have plenty of 3rd party applications that weren't provided as part of my distro, didn't require recompiling, and have worked fine over generations of Linux.
I've also had Android games purchased as part of a Humble Bundle that now don't run on modern Android, so the logic is completely backwards.
I didn't get much further than the second paragraph before I just walked away. It was painful reading.

2024... It's a parody site, right?
So many bad takes and misunderstandings of the issues, all reinforced by an AI telling these fools what they want to hear.
