Linux and Unices assume you know what you're doing

Windows assumes that the user has the mental prowess and knowledge of a 5 year old

Both can result in disaster, in glorious ways

hate this take. can we stop calling normal, non-techie people idiots?

it’s like saying the safety on a gun was designed for babies and makes the FOSS community look toxic as fuck.

The first sentence is right, but not because of intelligence (agreed toxic).

The money that goes into Linux is for corporate use by administrators. Very little money makes end user facing tools. I think given that fact the Linux desktop is an amazing result of the work of a lot of volunteers.
