They fail to realize that 99% of people that own a home computer, just want to turn it on and have it work like turning on a TV, without getting into Minutia.
Shockingly, some will also handload ammunition.

If someone wants to keep feeding Bill Gates by running Windows, have at it, along with all the forced updates.

Run a Linux OS and you are the one in control, they work every day. And I handload for everything I shoot, I'm in control of what I shoot.

WayneShaw, you missed my point,

99% of people using computers out there do no know what Linux is or for that matter what CakePhp, PHP, MySQL, Centos etc, etc, etc...........

As I mentioned earlier, they just want to turn on their computer and have it working for them. Anyway that's just my take.

Cheers ~

I have sent several laptops to people with Linux installed. I made a poor choice of Linux OS in the one I sent to Wabi. I can understand why he didn't like it. That was my fault, not Linux's. If I had it back, I'd rectify that.

Dan has one, also. Made a much better choice of OS for his - but the laptop is old and has several problems.

But both of them were ready to turn on and use.Dan can give you his own take on Linux Mint.

Some guys want to be in control of their own lives, and some want to be told what to do, where to go, and why. I get it. Let's both not pretend though that your chosen lack of control is a "feature," when we both know it's a "bug."

Fred Bear just bought whatever bow he was sold, and was happy not to have to bother with learning anything beyond what was absolutely necessary to be an archer, yeah?

You left out UNIX which Mac OSX and iOS is based on and certified as such. Linux is too.

Bugs, malware, ransomware happen to the best of systems HuntnShoot.

I dare say that I know more about computing then most, since I have been involved in the industry since 1984.

Again, most people do not have the knowledge, time or interest to build their own Linux system. That is and was my only point.

Nothing could be farther from the truth IMO. I'm no expert in operating systems, like most I learned on a Windows system, and they kept changing and changing and are still changing it. I installed Ubuntu on an old laptop, to me Ubuntu is not the most user friendly, but I got by. A few glitches we worked out by advice from forums, and it was stable from there. I then got a used Macbook, another learning curve, but doable. I would rate a Mac better than Windows, but still they have their own quirks. Loaded Mint 19.3 on a new/refurbished laptop and it has been great. Very few issues, very fast, programs are readily available, and it does everything I need, every day. Updates are left up to me. The term "open source" means a lot with Linux. People all over the world use these systems and help is readily available, without having to call GEEK SQUAD.

Interestingly I started my career when Vacuum tubes and relay to relay logic were common and TTL was an infant.

This might be ol’ Wabi’s best solution.

I thought so too, but I am very happy with the end results.
