Why can't the linux community just get together and develop a unified suite of desktop apps. Mail, contacts, pdf manipulator, spreadsheet and writer, notes, calendar. Similar to what the Mac offers. #linux
@larry There are command line pdf manipulators. Probably some graphical ones too. But as far as a suite, everyone likes choice. You get Libre Office with doc editing, spreadsheets, etc. But doubt you'll find one option to fit all under one hood.
@pkimpton
It just seems to me that the one thing that holds back maybe a more widespread adoption of linux on the desktop by the non-geeks is a simple way to perform everyday tasks with a unified suite.
@larry sone just all honestly think it's all command line. It doesn't have to be, they don't want it to be. My two roommates, I set each of their laptops up with standard Linux Mint. They're happy as pigs in mud. I ssh to them, and update both remotely from my phone or my laptop. Linux Mint but using the i3 window manager. So nobody else will want to use it. lol
