The Linux desktop is a house owned by an amateur DIY home improvement person. Floor boards squeak, the back door doesn't latch unless you close it a certain way, you have to jiggle the toilet lever, and there's tape on a light switch controlling an outlet that needs constant power.

The homeowner doesn't fix these things, because they know to jiggle the lever, how to close the door. Working around these flaws has become second nature so they don't even realize they are doing it.

@kyle I'm afraid it's true. On the bright side, though, it's your house and not an apartment etc., and things like finicky doors don't stop the house from being livable. But they're still problems, especially when it comes to getting someone to live there....
