    Most people do not know or care how computers work, nor should they. They only need to know how to use them as a tool to complete their tasks. Not having a GUI makes those tasks monumental in comparison. That’s why the GUI was created, after the terminal, and why virtually everyone uses it by default.

      Ultich, dont take this the wrong way, but thats how you are using systems and thats how you see them. It is your perspective, not everyones perspective.

      Computers are not just one thing, one tool. They can be, they are, many times. But for many of us they are hobbies, a thing to tinker and experiment with, thats who you the the pretty UIs from.

      I get that ignorance is bliss, but you can not paint the whole ecosystem with the same brush. People are different. Generally yeah, you are right, but it is also a very ignorant way to look at things.

        I wasn’t talking about me personally. I was talking about the vast majority of people. You know, the other 97% of computer users that elect to use something other than Linux.
