    Ah yes. Let’s gatekeep Linux and keep the general public out of it. Definitely helpful to drive up adoption of desktop Linux.

      As someone who recently started using it…doing anything at all is a pain in the ass in Linux vs Windows.

      Installing many things requires following a guide instead of downloading an exe. And when one step of the guide yields something unexpected, well good luck.

      The thing hurting Linux adoption is Linux.

        No, it’s fragmentation. If you know what can be applied to other distros and what’s distro-specific, things become very easy.

      Unironically yes. Let’s gatekeep anything that people can fuck around with that can’t be fixed by a simple factory reset button.

        Learning more about technology and having more control can be really empowering. I don’t think dumbing things down even more is going to make people more tech literate and it’s definitely going to make them more dependent on shitty corporations.
