I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

    Their employer is probably using Windows because they’re locked in so that’s a red herring. Their mom, if not using Windows for similar reasons, is probably using some variant of Ubuntu.

          you keep saying that the average user can do this or that. when the point isn’t whether they could, but whether they want to. The average user does not want to choose. Look up the paradox of choice.

          It’s hard for a system to become mainstream when techy people keep boasting to them that its biggest feature is the one they specifically do not want

            Maybe that’s just another feature. Eternal September sucks, as evidence by this very interaction.
