The normies are what makes Microslop money, though. We need to get the normies onboard in order to fight MS' stranglehold on computing. Gatekeeping isn't the right move here.

I can't delete my comment now, but I think you're right. I don't consider "take it or leave it" to be gatekeeping, but when the world's biggest corporations pose a threat to software liberty, distros becoming more palatable to average users is strictly a good thing.
Not that I'm even involved with distro development anyway. Probably would've been better to let the real OS engineers have the discussion on that one.
Agreed. Every single user that stops using Microslop products and embraces open computing environments is a net win for software freedom. And I want open/free/libre software to succeed.
