The average user is too stupid to learn keyboard shortcuts that’d save them time at work
People learned windows, it’s what they know. Maybe we can train the next gen on Linux startig young, but unlikely given “we know windows tho” from parents
As someone who loves Linux and has run it since the mid nineties, the average user doesn’t need Linux either. They just need something that works and is familiar and easy to use. As much as I hate to say it, my 70+ year old parents like windows, are comfortable with it and it just works for them. I value my and their time enough to not put them on Linux.
Making them learn linux at this point is counterproductive. I actually started teaching them Ubuntu a few years back. It worked for what they did then, but they’ve started branching out and need it to work easily for devices that only have Windows drivers and don’t work well under wine. I gave up and they’ve been happy ever since.
It’s important to realize that any OS is a tool, and using the right one for the job is always the best way to accomplish what needs to be done. I prefer Linux and MacOS, they prefer Windows.
At home I use me personal pc dor 95% gaming via gamepass
Fix that then we can talk
That’s what Gamepass is for, keeping you on Microsofts playground. You aren’t installing PC games, they essentially provide you with Xbox games and an “emulator” that runs them. It won’t be fixed because it heards folks to Windows, as intended.
Gamepass games aren’t emulated. They’re installed and run natively just like anything else. Some of them are harder to mod than other platforms, but this is largely due to file permissions and ownership issues and the way some games are packaged/configured.
I don’t really like the service because I prefer not to rent my games monthly, but that just isn’t correct.
