My presumption is that we want people too so using Windows and supporting Microsoft/Apple

If you don’t agree with that there really isn’t much for you and I to discuss, my above view doesn’t make much sense without that presumption.

So, do you think the world would be better if people stopped using Microsoft?

Couldn’t think of a more appropriate term, feel free to suggest some better terms

Interesting, i kinda read that quickly and took awsay from it more of a

Ships without the expectation to need a terminal, not actually ship without one at all

And that attitude is why Linux is struggling to gain market cap imho.

Yes they can, but maybe we need to embrace those who arent tech saavy?

Saying if you dont like it, go do your own thing is not very welcoming.

We should encourage people to create their own distribution, but maybe welcome people with open arms first, guide them to a flavour that works for them, and then encourage them to learn how to make it exactly what they want

Edit: Market capture > market share

Torvalds should create a standards/stewardship for a my-first-linux introduction to linux. Super minimalist and specifically puts limits on its complexity. Make it good enough for the average person who has installed windows machines to be able to install

And every one of you linux people need to support all distros including the ones youve never heard of, or wouldnt touch it with the appropriate substitute of 10ft pole

The amount of bickering ive seen about “best distros” is insane. You people sound like rabid sports fans, or idiotic ford vs chevy luddites.

IIIRC im told Mint is most of the way to this.

If gamers are who made windows what it is today, i think its going to be content creators who will push the next era of pc users

Reading the comments, thats actually how is it was designed, but for the lols they switched it to be “evil” as a lark.

The actual designed is that way

So… Is marketing just like comedy, all about timing?

Yes. But im not allowed to say it. But you most definitely should

Thanks you

Have you ever been to one? Most people do carpool, but on a lot that size theres plenty of room for a few people to have to join late or maybe only make it to the second or 3rd film(most weekends there are 3 movies that play.

Thursday nights were carload nights and you would cram as many people into a car and pay 35 dollars for everyone to watch 2 movies, possibly 3 even
