I use a Linux PC every day but I wouldn't recommend it to normal people. They're not going to feel any renewed sense of ownership from it, just annoyance at having to think about technical gibberish when they just want to get on with using the computer.
Right, because Windows has no technical gibberish: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ C$\WinSxS>ps1 DWORD etc.
Outdated view—most people don’t do these things, and just use the app store and menu.
They remain consumers at their peril.
Yeah, because getting ads and pushed to use more Microsoft products all day long isn't an annoyance when they just want to get on with using the computer.
However, they don't need to learn YAML or read configuration manuals to dismiss an ad.
Speaking of technical jibberish...
Thanks for the counterbalancing post. Linux isn't quite there yet.
