Re: "Linux Desktop"
"> Linux zealots are in total denial about this, because they don't see it through a user's eyes. They just see users as idiots.
Oh, the irony! You, Windows zealot, appear to see users as idiots who cannot follow simple instructions and read the documentation that comes with their OS"
Thing is, for average people phones, tablets, laptops, etc are just appliances. Read the QuickStart leaflet, maybe, and go. Why should one have to wade through pages and pages of manual in order to, say, take a photo? On the phone, you just touch the phone icon, and there it is. Etc.
Desktop OSs aren't consumer-friendly, period. There's a reason businesses hire IT people to make their employee's devices usable anywhere in the building or organization. It's called "I have to tread a manual to make this thing work???? WTF are you thinking????"
This has nothing to do with being smart or stupid. It has to do with what you want to spend your time on. Making the device do tricks? Nah. Using it for useful stuff? Yes!!!!
