  I mean, “it’s easier to use” is a pretty good quality to have. People tend to pick the most user-friendly and time-saving solution

  And they don’t consider anything else and they they get themselves into CentOS situations.

  I think FOSS should strive to be easier to use.

  Yes so do I.

    And they don’t consider anything else and they they get themselves into CentOS situations. Or large monopolies like what Microsoft has over Office.

    But so what? The kind of people who do this were not going to be grand contributors to FOSS anyway. They’re just consumers, not makers, and they consume the products that make the most sense to them.

    Also, let’s not lay everything solely on consumer stupidity. Microsoft spends a crapton of money lobbying governments, administrations, universities, schools and so on around the world to maintain their monopoly. Corruption at all levels of society is a big factor.
