That is 100% COSMIC jank. He chose Pop!_OS again and System76 has been annoyingly shipping a beta desktop environment on their stable distro.
I like COSMIC and System76, but this is an annoying decision by them and Linus does shitty research so he doesn’t know he’s running beta software and he’ll associate this with Linux being janky again 🙄
The average user trying to switch to Linux? YES, they would.
The average user like my mom? No, because she sure as shit doesn’t even know what Linux is nor how to make a bootable USB drive.
I’m sick and tired of this cop out answer of the “average” user.
This is like someone buying a car. Do you want to get a lemon? Sure, buy whatever “looks good” OR you do some RESEARCH and figure out what car to get from reliability reports.
Do you think a Mac user wanting to switch to Windows won’t do any research?
People who want linux usage to spread need to decide if they want widespread adoption (this comes with users who cannot troubleshoot and fix their own problems) or experts only (these people are already using linux)
If you feel like you need to reinstall Windows anyway, Trying out Linux is a pretty low bar if you’re curious. In that situation I think everything Linus did seems plausible.

This falls under that category. He installed a linux distro, the distro is janky.
Would the average user “do research” better?

well yeah system76 is marketing their buggy distro I wouldn’t doubt some reddit user looked at the larping for POPOS and said “let’s try that distro”
