Maybe it needs a rebranding. If people have heard of linux, they think it’s for devs, IT nerds, too complicated, etc. Most of the people just have never heard of linux because they don’t look out for it. Most people don’t know what FOSS is, etc. People just don’t know that their OS is spying on them. Chromeos is linux, it’s in every store. Linux made it. Gnu didn’t.
A normal person should not have to deal with different distros. The difference in many distros is so small, people don’t even notice. People care about the desktop environment. I started with ubuntu and if ubuntu wouldn’t have ten thousand different ways of installing apps, and oftentimes you have to use the method the dev chose, I wouldn’t have distro hopped until I got to fedora. Fedora is amazing but a normal end user who browses the web won’t notice a big difference between the systems.
To run linux on a banana, you have to adapt it. To run macos on a banana, you have to crack it and fiddle around and get a psychiatrist and work on it full time. Linux makes it easier for you. Apple forbids you to install it on a banana. Fuck apple.
Once you want to bulk edit on the go, use “every door”. “SC” or “SCEE” (feature richer SC) aren’t designed to update a large area quickly. (Check out each app when you become a serious mapper or want to make a real difference. Knowing the osm tools (and josm ofc) is highly important for efficiency.
That’s really nice! Thank you for your service!
