Programmer Humor

The problem is we're looking at it as techies. Most people want to check their emails and browse the internet. That's it. They don't care about anything after that.

They don't care about privacy or customisability or configuration. They want to push buttons and it does what they want.

Linux is not like that. There are too many choices all of which are basically the same to an average user. So they won't bother.

Why use a system that supports a sub set of your games and requires configuration and choices when you can just push a button and double click an icon.

There's almost no gain for the average user and a lot of drawbacks.

It really won't. I use windows a lot and it's perfectly usable and everything just pretty much works.

Which is what most people care about. Most people don't care about privacy and the ones that do will already be using Linux where possible.

Many of the other complaints are about customisability. Which again most people don't care about.

The fediverse is also tiny. Most people stayed on Reddit because again they don't give a shit about privacy or what the admins get up to. They just want to view content with no fuss. Which is exactly what Reddit provides.
