We already do that, it's simply covered up by capitalism and distance. Those who die mostly are in the poorest regions of Earth while everyone else complains about higher prices.
With the Ukraine invasion the grain supply also took a hit, yet western shelves (and garbage containers) were always filled to the brim. Those who died because of it died in the shadows, at least from most people's perspective.
Cinnamon, most commonly known from Mint. There are also Fedora and Ubuntu spins for it.
I was answering your last point. I didn't react to the first one because implying the big Linux DEs of user-friendly distros (usually Cinnamon, KDE or Gnome) were bad is just utter nonsense. Incomplete at times in regards to very specialised administrative tasks, sure. But the features and menus that exist are generally well made.
I also think navigating is easy, doesn't mean anyone asking for initial help using a GPS app to get on track should from now on use a book with relative directions explained in text.
What are these "Burritos"?
You're the only one rambling about coding right now, Apocalypteroid just used the word once; given he's a self-described novice it's safe to assume the word was used in a generalizing manner to describe any kind of bash, command line magic or config file syntax (as little as there is, there still is more or less basic syntax you have to adhere to. Enthusiasts might not even realize this anymore). Your comments do make a good example of the communication problem between novices and Linux/IT enthusiasts though. Your expectation towards people who aren't into a topic to use perfect terminology in their questions is both naive and inconsiderate. It's no wonder people got angry with you.
To answer your last question regarding "understand filesystem (paradigms)": Coming from Windows people rarely, if ever, had to learn about any kind of filesystem; if they had to most people just right-clicked and formatted a disk. While saying that "ext4 is standard" would be rather straight-forward, more and more distros come with btrfs. Additionally it's important to know about exfat to not let them run into awful situations with incompatible USB sticks and such. Of course this can and should be shown using their distro's native Disk Utility, i.e. Gnome Disks, KDE Partition Manager or whatever comes with or at a minimum a common tool like GParted so they can safely interact with their own devices.
Too many people expect you to know and understand gnu-utils and all the common config file, filesystem and folder structure paradigms though. Which is the problem.
The one enabling people to understand and use their devices on their own. Once you can use a mouse or touchpad, you can navigate the UI. Good UI/UX conveys function. Checkboxes insert the correct configuration in the background without possibly hazardous typos.
The CLI does nothing of this for the user, to understand it users have to invest tens, if not hundreds of hours before they get a hang of all essential commands, paradigms and tools to help themselves. They have to become IT intermediates just to use their computers.
By providing a single CLI command (which, in the worst case, gets copied by a third user on an incompatible system configuration breaking everything) instead of pointing at the GUI tools most user-friendly distros already provide you do, in many cases, a disservice to the average user who just wants their problem to be fixed. They will not be able to help themselves next time for a similar issue.
That sounds awfully derogative towards the average user.
HDR works fine with Plasma (KDE). Regarding MO2, do you think the Nexus Mods app could eventually replace it? They work on a native client that already supports a few games.
Dude, I just ranted. I don't expect this meme to do anything, neither does anyone owe me something. It just showed this general vibe in the community about what they think is "simple" I had the desire to call out here because I think it can be harmful to common users. So I engaged in discourse about this aspect. If you see it differently that's fine, we probably won't be friends. Outside of jokes (which I thought I made clear by specifically marking it as a rant) I will keep working on changing desktop' Linux public image away from only-for-CLI-nerds towards a potentially user-friendly option for everyone (potentially = the distros made to be like that) even if you don't like that.
Whatever you think you understand, it certainly isn't my point. "Let Linux be Linux" makes me question whether you even understand how divers "Linux" is.
Glad I could help.
Linux users don't trust telemetry, but sending useful information first try is hard too.
Let the apologists have a field day in the comments.
For anyone interested in the first article, it's on wccftech.com. For the second one we assumeably have to wait yet another year.
It see's the US as AI slop?
For the sake of this meme I'll just assume it's meant to be meta as fuck.
