But like you said, things will have to be dumbed down and hidden extensively.

At the same time whenever a piece of Linux software or distro takes ANY step whatsoever in this direction, the backlash from the community can get rather large.

I switched to Ubuntu years ago after getting frustrated with Windows. It took some getting used to, but I love it and wouldn't go back.

I'm not a programmer. I don't game on my computer. I pretty much just use a web browser. Occasionally I'll install a new program.

I'm just tech savvy enough to figure out how to do stuff by googling. Most of the how to guides are over my head, but there's usually a very remedial one that I can understand.

Ubuntu has served my needs perfectly. It's stable, simple, and runs like a dream on my older laptop.

Lemmy is my first exposure to the Linux community. I was surprised at the hate Ubuntu gets.
