      That is my point. With Linux as a PC OS people cannot become familiar with it because there are too many user interfaces. The Linux supporters as a whole need to pick one and push it and only it to be viable for the average Joe.

        Why does it need to be dumbed down for the average joe?

        Why does guis need to be designed for the person not using it? Why not design them for the people using it now and improve them for the actual users of the software instead of the persons NOT using the software?

        Thats a stupid idea and that very line of thought is the brainrot that has led to the enshittification of so much the last couple of decades.

          You don’t understand marketing and that people need a uniform experience. You need simplicity to get the average person. You’re thinking as a advanced computer user, not a basic or novice user.

            Why do average users need to use linux. Let them stay in windows if that’s where they are happy. Making linux into a system just as shitty as windows will just replace shit with different shit.

              But that’s the whole issue. Microsoft will continue to dictate how the internet and computers in general function if the regular users don’t adopt something else. The regular users won’t adopt Linux because the current users of Linux want to gatekeep Linux. You bitch and complain “why do people user shitty Windows?” Then when given an answer say “we don’t want them using Linux anyway.” You are showing exactly how fucking stupid you are.
