" “things that just work”.

That certainly not how I will describe the Linux desktop experience.

Of course it can. There is nothing subjective about bad directing, bad acting, and bad writing. Fools who claim everything is subjective and “every idea is a good idea” are the reason we get shit TV and movies like the Acolyte and Kenobi.

That speaks more to your lack of taste than the show’s quality. The show was laughingly bad. From acting, to directing, even the special effects.
