No data I’m afraid but it just doesn’t ring true to me, unless there are vast regional differences. It sticks out to me as much as if you’d said that Bing is the largest search engine; I’ve barely heard of Apple email but almost everyone I know uses Gmail except me, including Apple users I know.

Are you saying Apple is a larger email provider than Google? I’d find that very surprising.

I guess I’m biased because when I first started using Linux some 20 years ago it was considered user friendly for the time. Plus I must have used it hundreds of times since I had a previous job which involved setting up a lot of CentOS servers, which could have blinded me to the problems. Still, I think it’s reassuring to do everything from a central overview page for your configuration choices, takes away a bit of self-doubt. I’m not complaining though, as long as the new one does the job.

Just upgraded. I think I must have been the only person in the world to like the old Fedora installation UI but everyone complained about it so it must be good news that it’s gone, as long as I don’t hate the new one.

I thought this happened months ago. Did another cryptocurrency person else eat the banana? That’s not that original.

Most of those things are kind of a matter of taste though aren’t they? If you change those kinds of things you’ll get other people complaining who like it as it is now. For example for me I think the default UI is excellent and the alternative ones I’ve tried are mostly terrible, but I know not everyone thinks the same way.

Other complaints are instance-specific but that’s a good thing; instances can operate how they like because we have a choice, that’s the whole benefit to Lemmy and federation.

OK but that’s still no explanation. I want to understand the problem deeper than “it’s bad”.

I’m not getting what the UX problems are, and if you change things aren’t there just going to be new problems with the changes? I think the default experience is a lot better than Reddit at least.
