The various Linux communities need to be careful what they wish for IMO, would it be great for market share to get onboard with Linux? Absolutely.

But like you said, things will have to be dumbed down and hidden extensively.

At the same time whenever a piece of Linux software or distro takes ANY step whatsoever in this direction, the backlash from the community can get rather large. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too.

IMO Linux is great the way it is, low market share and all, and we all know what happens when something starts catching on with the general public...

I switched to Ubuntu years ago after getting frustrated with Windows. It took some getting used to, but I love it and wouldn't go back.

I'm not a programmer. I don't game on my computer. I pretty much just use a web browser. Occasionally I'll install a new program.

I'm just tech savvy enough to figure out how to do stuff by googling. Most of the how to guides are over my head, but there's usually a very remedial one that I can understand.

Ubuntu has served my needs perfectly. It's stable, simple, and runs like a dream on my older laptop.

Lemmy is my first exposure to the Linux community. I was surprised at the hate Ubuntu gets.
