- Jaruzel 7y agoFor most non-technical people, a Windows 3.1 type GUI is all they need.
- Crinus 7y agoUntil they maximize one of the program group windows and suddenly "where are all my programs?" :-P
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoStop this. It's condescending and part of the reason no one like tech people. It's also one of the core reasons the Linux Desktop never took off: "you don't need that, you just need (simple usecase that I envisioned because it was easy)."
- Jaruzel 7y agoReally? I'd argue that Android and iOS have proven that the simpler the GUI, the easier it is for the masses to use them. Imagine if working a car was as complicated as your average desktop OS. There would be a lot less people driving that's for sure.
- IggleSniggle 7y agoA lot less people driving, but the people who did drive would have a higher chance of being able to repair them without going to a specialist.
