    I had dual-booting Linux systems for a long time, and I finally just stopped because of convenience. I had an Atari 520ST (c.1985) that had a better gui than Linux does. I want Linux; hell, I NEED it, but I don’t want to have trouble with drivers and shit not working and learning command-line commands. And make it intuitive, how am I, an ordinary guy, supposed to know that “Sudo” gives me administrative rights? Even installing software has a learning curve.

    I keep waiting for a populist distro that can bridge the gap between Linux and the casual user; even, heaven forbid, grandma and grandpa. I’ll probably end up being full Linux soon because I can probably get there (in 2-4x longer than most of you) and Windows is actively trying to consume their customers.

    Rant over. Love+frustration. Peace ✌️

      ZorinOS is a pretty good and consumer friendly “distro” if you can call it that.
