maybe normal users should just get over it, and use the command line once in a while. its really not as hard as people make it out to be, if youre just running basic commands.
How about, no. I want my computer to work for me. I don’t want to work for my computer. This is why the majority of programmers out there, people who clearly can use the command line, use Windows.
you do realize that people can learn new things. im tired of treating people as clueless ‘consumers’ who just ‘arent tech savvy’. learn the basics of how to use a computer, such as copy/paste, and know how to troubleshoot. thats all im asking.
this wouldnt be too big of a problem if it were something like switching people from ubuntu to arch, or xorg to wayland (as examples of intra-community arguments). but the alternative to linux (for consumers) is windows or mac, which are actively harmful to our society. its not just a matter of linux being easier, faster, simpler, more extensible, or anything, although it is. its about people understanding what corporations are using them for, and the common sense to recognize this.
I know and use Linux as a desktop. I constantly switch back to Windows because Linux flaws aren’t worth my time. It’s not about clueless consumers. It’s about not dealing with an os that actively makes it harder to use your computer than the competition.
And the rest of society is tired of nerds saying garbage like “why doesn’t every single consumer spend a week taking a training course to learn how to use my crappy UX” instead of spending the time to make an intuitive UX that doesn’t need a week long training course.

Bringing us back to my original comment about Linux desktop users being unable to accept that it’s not consumer ready.

intuition is subjective
No, it’s not, the fundamentals of UX are rooted in human psychology and the way our brains respond to basic patterns like grouping and hierarchies.
