I agree that appealing to computer illiterate users is detrimental when taken too far, but I do not think this is an excuse to deny the general population encouragement to free themselves. They are better here than there. We have *more* control over the Linux experience as end users. When they enshittify it as they&#39;ve already been doing, it will be harder for the RedHat/Microsoft cult to maintain an iron grip like what Windows allows. We still lose the ecosystem, but we make any &#34;muh user friendly&#34; numbing unenforceable and create a gateway for freedom to seep back in when people get tired again. Just look at what happened to XOrg. Still not dead, infact people are more vocally against Wayland&#39;s creeping now than ever.<br/><br/>Plus, GNOME design elitists and similar are blind to their users regardless. It doesn&#39;t matter how many new users turn over or not because they are going to keep pretending they are at the forefront of &#34;user friendly Linux&#34; since it is a power fantasy for them. The correct response is to bring new users over but inform them of the better options they have, that individual choice does not have to be scary and user friendliness does not mean mimicking a cell phone. People who want to turn us back into passive consumers are not going to stop at &#34;there are no users&#34; because they&#39;re out of touch and see enthusiasts as potential conversion anyway (that or they call us all fascists, because when politics are involved that is considered a &#34;win&#34; in their book). 2026-03-19T17:00:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd0jduv8lsq52vcg7k49q423uselfewqkeyrer68gtwz2wvflyqvqzypshwgdskxf6gzyknq606zpgtgmmmxs5r0t7fec4w3ss3nszmdryw032rdv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs84t3ck0dsr3lxk6hq8dzgk9ypr8ss88gnaqe86f3hjvnrpl4xp0cypa4ja'>nevent1q…a4ja</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Murder over merely politics is not an appropriate use of force against anyone. Imagine how this could be used to justify an assassination against a democrat too. If violence against politicians is normalized then the only opinions that will matter are the ones that conveniently line up with the most violent and disruptive in the country.<br/><br/>Now if he was literally the second coming of hitler and had obvious murderous intent then there&#39;s nothing to complain about, but that&#39;s not what happened. 2025-09-13T01:54:17Z
