Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux
Dnn@lemmy.world 1 year agoPeople know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS.
What? Only techies know that, 99% users don’t and wouldn’t care.

Are we being overly anal about semantics here? I never said kde is a distro. I just said I used Ubuntu, as in the pure Ubuntu from Canonical, and before that Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with the Plasma Desktop environment KDE. There, it has been a long time since I last used them so I did not remember the name Kubuntu.
Also MacOS is popular because its users don’t have to care that it is a Unix system. You basically just repeated my point. I have never been an Apple fan (my phones were all Android phones), but, well, “it just works” anyone?

Usually not but your whole activity in this thread reads like you’re just hating on Linux for some reason: “too diverse!” “it destroyed my ssd!” (which I doubt). In that context your claim to have been a user just looks like a half-truth to give yourself some credibility.
Anyway, back to the actual topic: I don’t care about mass-adoption. Everything turns to shit when the masses pour over it. In my opinion, Lemmy has reached the critical amount of contributors to get it going, except more actual scientists maybe.
