From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think the appstore / sandbox / flatpak situation is actually quite accessible to a younger audience that grew up with smartphones. They don't deal with files much
Not to mention the fact chromebooks exists where local files are a mere joke and everything get's uploaded to Google Disk or an alternative to that and they have never been more popular. The average person doesn't save a word-processing document on a computer locally, they save it on a cloud and trust whoever owns that cloud service.
