    Yeah if anything it’s more “consumer friendly” than Windows!

    “Oh hey we forced another update on you…anyway can you find the tiny ‘skip for now’ link on like 10 ads before we let you use your property we’re running on? Or you can just do yourself a favor and click on the big bold ‘please daddy Microsoft take care of it all here’s my credit card and I want more ads’ buttons on your way. That’d be great!”

      If my 80 year old tech illiterate grandma can use a windows laptop to check her emails and use amazon then it’s user friendly enough. I genuinely shudder at the thought of trying rk coach her through setting up Linux.

        Through setting up?! Oh I’m going to get nightmares now!

        I just meant “Hey, here’s a computer, that’s the Internet button, there’s a repository app store with free programs, and occasionally you can click update when it says so and have a nice ol’ time.”

        Using something like Mint or Elementary to set up a nice padded play pen. XD

        Yeah I’m just against invasive commercialization, I don’t envision or encourage trying to move towards “Granny uses Arch btw”

        Lmao
