My post (on my other lemmy account before I switched this one to my main) sharing a video by a youtuber that said some open source software was badly designed in terms of UI and how it could be improved received so much hostility that I got fed up and ended up deleting it
It wasn't even a negative video, my post wasn't even negative
What was the point of sharing it if people just react hostile towards it even though you shared it in good faith
The bad design with some open source software is why I don't use some of them and why I haven't installed Linux as a dual boot operating system yet
I use blender and krita because they have good designs with the gui and its catered towards the user using the software in this case creatives
Gimp however and other badly designed open source software don't cater GUI towards the user demographics that would be using them
