You need to dumb shit down for the majoirty. Jist look at the downward spiral of popular software, and how little the masses really care about ownership or ability to tinker and control what they use.
If you want the masses to use Linux, then you’ll need a distro that is as useless as Windows. No technical errors, no forward-facing power user features.
Plus, you’ll bring the big corps into Linux with a their shit ideas like rootkits, SaaS, etc. Because if the masses are in Linux, they’ll be following the money.
I think it’s more users need to realize that an OS that is easier to use in every way is not a more difficult OS to use.
But also, I’m okay gatekeeping Linux, as bringing the masses over just means enshitification and turning it into Windows again. Fuck that.
lolwat. can you explain the reasoning in your second paragraph?
Also I’m not sure that your definition of Enshittification is correct.
