@thebardingreen@thefrankring Good on you. The Linux community if they want to being people over needs to make efforts like this to be inclusive and open to people that just want something simple and easy to use. I am a very basic user, with all of 1 intro coding course (LOVED it, but nonetheless) and I’ve had POP OS dualboot on my laptop and desktop and it’s been fantastic.
And 99% of computer use for most people is in a browser. No need for an overly complex OS, with constant stupid pop-ups to ruin that browser experience.
I have my Boomer dad using Linux Mint on his laptop, but he was still using Windows on his desktop PC.
Then it updated to Windows 11 and he HATES it and asked me for help to put Linux Mint on his desktop as well.
This is a real estate agent in his 70s who needs help making scans and downloading email attachments.

Yeah, I think Windows is becoming overly designed and optimized.
Leading to unnecessary complexities.
