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.

The success of Linux on mobile devices supports the point. Click here, update this, and move on. Certainly, it can be finicky (moreso than iOS), but Android is at the point where we can say it "just works." And as a result, people use it and like it and are all set.
