I am struggling to understand the point this guy is trying to make. He’s upset that the system works, and he’s upset that it’s doesn’t require immediate manual intervention at every step. Is it just the nostalgia talking?
To most of us, an operating systems is means to an end. We use it to do work, or play games, or whatever else you want to do. If anything, Linux overall is in the best state it’s ever been, and it only continues to improve.
If the low-level manual work is what he wants, then there are certainly options he can adopt into his workflow, but outside of that, it just feels like aimless anger
