@jannem@fosstodon.org @odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange @Gargron@mastodon.social @aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au that was pretty clear, at least for me.
I don't argue either against being user-friendly and I don't criticize people that choose not to learn about computer internals ans doodads.
I'm just demanding a bit of ownership for everybody around their past choices and priorities when it comes to ask for help, and be self-consciuos of the "I don't know about computers because I never cared" instead of "I'm owed help because I'm special".

@gabriel@fedi.gvisoc.com @odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange @Gargron@mastodon.social @aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au I think the Steam Deck is a positive example: You start in Steam, with your games, settings, store and so on. All updates are atomic and safe. You don't need to know or care how it really works. You want to mod things, so start the desktop UI. Real desktop with terminal, but still atomic and still safe. Unlock the read-only FS and it's *still* safeish (update the deck to revert changes). Or install whatever OS and now you're completely on your own.
