  • I agree with your overall point, as a long time Linux, Windows and Mac poweruser who has shepherded many into a new OS in the past. People who don’t like to explore new/different technologies as a hobby get quite comfortable with whatever they’re used to and the way that it works and then quickly lose empathy for those that are earlier in their journeys.

    Just to clarify on the Linus Pop!_OS thing, he didn’t read the prompt that said he was about to uninstall his desktop environment and then typed in “yes I understand this can break my system” or something like that, which had been added as a prompt to keep people from not reading the warning. Anyways people got mad that he did that because he literally ignored the warning and the meaning of the words he had to type that had been added to idiot proof the thing.
