    We all need to make what we know freely available in a friendly manner to make the path to Linux easier and more fun.

      Up until now, we’ve been hiding it in wikis and books, where we know nobody will look. 😂

      There are some user friendly distributions, but even they will be uncomfortable and frustrating to use when you’re new.

      Having to relearn how to use a computer is daunting for people. It’s a lot easier to just touch an app and have the instant gratification.

      The point of all of these apps and services is to get people dependent on them so that they’re unwilling to leave because the alternative requires effort. I don’t know that Linux, as a whole, can ever be that user friendly. But, eventually some people will be tired of being squeezed for cash and spyed on just to save a few weeks of reading and learning.
