  The users on Windows range from casual not techies to full on nerds. In between there are people with different interests and different tech experience. The next likely new Linux users will be at the techy end of that range. Bunching them together is really poor usability analysis. Talking about average users is also nonsense. Out of 100 users, there might be only one average user.

  I’ve been using Linux full-time at home for 14 years+ without needing to use the command line. Linux is far from perfect, but misinformation should be avoided.

  At work I need Eindows for our CAD application. FOSS CAD is OK for some use cases. But falls far short for my car design use cases.

  I knew they should have built a real smoke and engine noise generator into the cyber truck. So that all those who insist on polluting, don’t have to be left out.

  Oh great! The planet has already got a carbon dioxide atmosphere. So we can’t go there and burn stuff to mess it up like web did to the last one.
