Apple is dropping the ball on multiple fronts. More and more famous people in tech are seriously considering Linux on non-Apple laptops (see: Omarchy)
I highly doubt I'll replace my MBP with another one tee bee aitch

Troon/Shitsux will absolutely never be relevant
If windows is destined to die, It's unironically more likely that a completely new OS will appear out of nowhere to become the next big thing

Linux is growing year by year. It's just a numerical fact, schlomo.

>>105771350 (OP)
Of course not. The problem with windows was never people not knowing about it or being too "difficult".
The problem is and always will be a OEM problem.
Normalfags don't install OS, they don't install programs, not even apps on their phone. No matter how easy you make them. That's why companies pay top dollar to be pre install in shit.

If TempleOS came preinstalled with ever notebook, that's what normalfags would use. Yeah, they would complain a little bit in the beginning, but like little nigger cattle they are would immediately bend over and accept their fate.
That's exactly what happened with Windows 8, Windows 11, every retarded Apple decision, everything being a subscription, lockdowns, experimental gene therapy injections, gay marriage, trannyism, the country being over run by immigrants, etc.

If you want something outta normalfags you have to force that behavior. WEF knows this. That's why we need a good and benevolent dictator force good things to normalfags.

Nobody even cares about that guy anymore. The only reason anyone pays attention to the new videos is because it's "that guy you remember as some tard yelling at Amnesia still exists and is doing something else entirely". He's not an authority even to people who remember what he used to do, and the kids who still watch the equivalent of that today may not know him much at all. Surely you're not expecting something to actually happen.

Almost nobody in FOSS knows how to make a good ui. Everything else is downstream of this. People who already know how to use the system are bad at predicting how other people will use it, and if other people naturally use it "wrong" their instinct is to correct them rather than to adapt to the user's instincts.
Every time you have to tell the user to RTFM, you've failed. Every time the user has to copy and paste some bullshit they don't understand, you've failed. Not the user, you.

"Fortunately" both Apple and Microsoft are also forgetting how to do it, and Microsoft's own staff clearly have no faith in Windows and have let in the WSL trojan-horse, so there's a good chance we'll all be running some Android-style "bro it's totally linux!" abomination by 2040.

A company like Framework needs to take-off for Linux to be popular. That's the core problem. Windows is pre-installed on everything so that is what people are using.

More likely is that windows 12 will be good again though. They always alternate between good and bad releases after all

It has to become more commonplace in general to ditch the windows tax when buying a laptop etc. If they would always present you with a 120$ price cut to it ship with Fedora KDE or something more people would take it

Can someone explain to me why i should care about what the sheeple are using?

Normies barely even own PCs anymore, they are phone-only, so appealing to them means to change my things in a way that is bad for me.

What is a "good UI"? Can you elaborate that?
Is a UI, that is good for the dumbest shitskin on the planet, and therefore super popular... good for me as well?

Maybe an actual good UI is an UI that i can use the way i want to?
OH WAIT... the fucking normie nowadays is confused by options and if you put a checkbox somewhere in a settings menu, they get a heart attack!
So can't even make it optional anymore.

>>105774441
>everything in one column with drop-down only
Now THIS is a good UI!
Just like on my phone.
Nothing confusing, just dropdowns, even for values where it makes no sense.

>>105774409
Grossly oversimplifying: A good UI, for the average user, is one that is forgiving and which is discoverable. That is, unless the task is ridiculously complicated the user should be able to find out how to do the thing they want to do without reading the manual. Intermediate level users (and most users are intermediate level, not beginners.) are comfortable exploring the options available to them and experimenting, but they won't task-switch and read a manual. This doesn't require some radical re-think: make a good graphical interface with things in their logical place, allow the user to ctrl+z changes they don't like, and throw up a "don't remind me again" checkbox'd warning if they're going to do something harmful.

Don't fall into the trap of imagining that the average user is some kind of subhuman idiot. The reason UIs are now designed for idiots is because UI designers are bad at their job. It's hard to figure out how to make a good UI that conveys lots of complicated options - it's easy to just say "don't give the user an option", that means less work for programmers and less work (on the same pay) for lazy incompetent UI "designers."
Respecting the user's intelligence and giving them more control should be the aim - but that's difficult because now you have to understand how a person of average intelligence might interact with a complex system. You might even have to bring some people in and see what they do, and then modify the software to match what seems intuitive rather than what you think is right. It's much easier if there's only one button, which does only one thing. Then you can simulate the end user by pretending you're a monkey and randomly prodding the touchscreen - and you don't even need to put in an "undo" function!

>>105772016
It's been decades, and I am still asking you the same question since nothing changed. What do you do on that os? It's completely useless compared to GGNU+Linux and even windblows.

pewdipie is gay, isn't it?

>>105774499
It's not only about being able to find things - but also about familiarity.

Like in a huge hierarchical menu, everybody is able to find what he wants without a manual - under the assumption that he can read - it might just take a long time till he gets there.
It is usable, but not effective and not familiar.

On the other hand, you got phone UI rip-offs, they are familiar and the normie can effectively and fast use them.
But you either can not find everything without a manual (rare actions hidden behind keyboard shortcuts), or they simply don't have those actions anymore in the first place and you simply can't do what you wanted to do.

>Don't fall into the trap of imagining that the average user is some kind of subhuman idiot.
This is true. IF you have a target group. If you average the people who might download and use your software, those people will probably be more skilled than you expect.
But if you average over a general population (in a false sense of "accessibility"), then you are left with a billion people who never used anything else than their phone. And this is the crowd that people who want "popularity" appeal to.
Those are the people Microsoft, Apple, Google, Gnome appeal to.
They also assume that those people are drooling retards who never learn. If you use a desktop the first time in your live, there are things you just have to learn.

Many first world white countries have over 20% Linux user base. Android, ChromeOS etc. are 47-85% of the world and you would add "unknown" to that also, because Linux users are not sending tracking data. 99,99% of the servers use Linux. Everything from ISS to hospitals, trains, ships, banks etc. run with Linux. Everything from your printer to cctv run Linux.

Of course it's over, it never began. I don't want to have to convince my own PC to do something for me every time I need it. I just want it to do it.

Apples are computers as a service. They hold resale value meaning if you're into subscriptions Apple is for you. Just sell old Apple and buy new one every year.
That's the justification I hear from poorfags anyway. Rich cunts don't care.

Though certain GNU/Linux distributions are commercial endeavors, focused on enterprise, Linux itself is not, and was never intended to be, a commercial kernel or operating system.

>>105771490
>never be relevant
It runs on more devices than any other operating system in the world, is ubiquitous in development workflows, and dominates the server arena on a global level.

>a completely new OS will appear out of nowhere
All Apple has to do is license their OS to be sold on cheap PCs, and Microsoft would be toast within 3-5 years, tops. In a similar vein, if a major OEM like Dell, HP, or Lenovo unexpectedly stopped shipping Windows with their PCs, and replaced it with a user-friendly GNU/Linux distribution like Mint, Microsoft would steadily disintegrate as other OEMs followed suit.

Windows has only managed to hang on thanks to long-standing contracts with major players, and the fact that 95%+ of consumers use whatever ships with their device without a second thought. MS still, for all intents and purposes, functions as a monopoly, and their staying power has nothing to do with consumer choice.
