True.
And while we wait we keep our factories running, our cars on the street, our planes in the air, our meat on the tables, our plastic wrapped around everything and keep believing that we will be just fine.

This applies to so many things. Someone’s lifestyle might come under attack, someone’s religion might be persecuted, someone has sensitive information to share, and so on and so forth.
I would say it is openSUSE Aeon.
An immutable distro that you install and it “just works”. Applications come in via the onboard Software Managerr (using Flatpack). It is almost impossible to break, as the system itself is write-only. If an update should break something, the OS rolls back itself. It can do this, because it’s basically updating what you’ll get after the next reboot, not the running system. If something goes wrong, it reboots to the working version.
Still in development, but super stable.
Not mentioned in the article, but I wish there were a (simple) way to get Microsoft Store apps to run on Linux. Some do by jumping through technical hoops, but many don’t.
Ah. You pray at the altar of Google with the mantra: “It only works in Chrome or Edge. Why not upgrade your browser?”
What could possibly go wrong with giving all the power to one browser engine? If only there was a precedent to learn from…
To answer your question, I think Linux absolutely should target the mainstream, as it already does in some ways.
For example, by making Linux more accessible to the average user, the community grows, which will probably lead to more support, more software development, and so on.
It is true that not all users have the same level of computer skills. Especially for that reason Linux should become even easier and even more intuitive to use.
In short: the more people use it, the more support it will get.
That that exists exists in that that that that exists exists in.
Global peace and security.
I answered a bit further down a bit lengthier. Hope that’s OK. 🙂
To be clear, I enjoy my Linux environment. But could I leave Linux on my parents’ devices who recently bought a new printer and use a facial recognition camera? I’d be worried…
Tbf, I work with Linux regularly and it’s great for me. But for the average user who wants basically zero learning curve like your average Android provides? Linux is a hard sell. To repeat what has been said so many times here:
Games. It’s better than it used to be, but Windows just does it better. The same goes for general software compatibility. Windows Store apps, for example, generally don’t run at all.
My surrounding never wants to open or see a command line. Ever.
Driver & hardware support. Windows still beats Linux here. And this is an important one.
Easy compatibility between distros. What works on one may not work on another. That’s a problem.
Like that.
Really, for someone willing to learn how their PC works, Linux is a good choice, maybe even a great choice. I love my Linux PCs. Am on OpenSuse at the moment and its been a fantastic experience. Couldn’t avoid some of the problems above, of course. But this isn’t about me.
For someone who just wants to click and install games, plug in random hardware and start using it a few seconds later, never touch an update interface and basically wants a system that just works intuitively because that’s what they’ve known for years… Windows is a better choice. And I say this with a sad heart, because I really wish that Linux was the competitor that Microsoft fears.
Edit: thanks for the reminder; I will likely install Windows 11 (the unsupported version as it were) for my immediate surrounding, apart from some techies. 😄
I really wish this would gain some traction. As it is, there is just not enough content there to compete with YouTube in any reasonable way.
Thank you. I feel like I’ve found a new way to respect developers that I hadn’t considered before.
there are limits
I am glad you have a moral centre.
But that is the capitalist way. A Redditor once wrote: “*Corporations have no morals, no ethics, no code of conduct, no feelings, no empathy, and zero accountability. They have one goal and one goal only: to increase profits at all costs.”
Case in point: the climate crisis. Corporations are literally destroying their own home for a symbol of success that, like their products, is man-made: money. It is the ultimate pursuit of vanity.
Crazy, if you think about it for a moment.
Jup. It just says that “the malware was disguised as PDF and QR code readers”.
Not helpful, Mashable. Not helpful at all.
Why judge people over their choice of beverage?
Why can’t we all drink (or eat or be…) whatever we please without derogatory comments being made? What kind of a low is that?
Seriously.

You are right on all counts.
Just not sure if “easy” is the operative word here.
Installed it. Liking it. Indeed beautifully designed.
There’s a lot going on and much data to be seen. Nice! Not airways easy to quickly see what I am looking for, but that might be just me not being used to it. Has a bit to catch up to meet the features of Breezy Weather, but I don’t expect that from a new so and you have SO much potential here!
Am I missing the dew point or is that not implemented yet?
The animations might be a tad slow, though beautiful to look at.
Can’t say much more. Will use Overmorrow (fantastic name!) for sure to test it more and see where it goes.
Thank you. Awesome job!
Another example of a company making clear that we don’t truly own the games we play on their platform.
