    In general:

    W11: fire up office, oops wait, it wants to set itself as default and for some reason needs you to buy a one drive subscription for that. How about some copilot? Are you sure? How about we wrap it in edge? Oh, but you can install Libreoffice by all means, but it’s not going to be the default app right? RIGHT?!!!

    Oh you want to save the file to your harddrive? Look, how do I put this,… there is no more harddrive.

    Linux: type one line in the terminal and there you go. Write a novel if you want.

      Unfortunately, it goes more like this…

      Linux: type one line in the terminal? Lose 98% of the potential userbase.

      The masses hate the terminal, for some reason, and it scares them away.

        for some reason…

        several.

        mostly conditioning by their abuser pretending to be their salvation. atrophying their potential and capacity and curiosity, deluding them about the challenge and diminishing their curiosity, hiding from them their growing empowerment, terrifying them about calamities technical and social with slippery slope fallacies, all both subconsciously and overtly. + the biases implanted inside the controlled user-lock-in bubble.
