Maybe. But switching from Windows to Mac, and again the opposite wasn't an issue. The learning curve was just changing the way my hands work with keyboard shortcuts. Functionality was so similar. Until Linux can get away from using terminal it'll be an issue. It may be anecdotal, but my anecdote is significantly more common than yours when you reach past Lemmy. Everything about Linux is awesome, except for the user experience itself and ease of use and it won't be mainstream until its structured in a way that makes it so. I'm very much pro FOSS and pro decentralization but I also only have so many hours in the day to be Sisyphus, pushing the rock up the hill of trying to understand Linux only to be in the same position and more frustrated than when I started.
And putting Linux as it is right now in schools will do no good. Kids are on phones. Right now, more than ever. They are used to and demand the easy os/app/website/etc.
For Linux to be a considerable contender for the average user, they need to make it more simple and like a Windows or Mac os.
I used Windows my whole life pretty much. Switching to Mac for a 5 year period was easy. Switching to Linux was easy. Using it was not. Installing a different distro was easy, using it was not. Rinse and repeat 3 more times and hello windows 11, looks like I'm using spyware. Because it just works.
On this line of thinking, are there any once a day mindfulness prompts? All I can seem to find are journaling apps, etc.
I just want a prompt at 6am to make me think about something positive to start my day
It boggles most of us too. Even the most conservative people in my circles are taking up anti American purchasing practices, uniting under the maple leaf. Even the most conservative people in my circles are looking to te liberal party as the only sane option (which is an entirely different conversation but the point is PP scares them)
There was something else I read saying it was down to pandemic levels of border crossing. You know....when it was only essential
The ceo is kinda racist... Apparently...

I have found lots of these communities. Have yet to find a r/lepin place but I'm waiting patiently!
Lego!
Brand name and knock off. Fun by myself, fun with my little kids, fun when the kids are in bed and it's the missus and I.
Was scrolling to see if I'd see Rubicon. Could've been a cool show
I try to use Foss but only when it's a lateral move. I tried Linux mint. It came close but there were so many little things that just didn't make sense to me as someone who used windows for the last 25 years. Do I want to use Windows 11? No, especially with everything they've been doing to it. But in terms of usability, the sacrifices that I make by using Windows 11 outweigh the extra work, frustration, and time spent trying to figure out Linux (tried 3 different distros too).
I have 3 little kids, a full time job and aging parents. I don't have hours every day to try and make stuff work.

I've used it before. It's not quick but it works
