Yeah, Linux Desktop evangelists have been saying that forever and yet, as I mentioned, even a lot of people like me who both are capable of and have reasons to desire a different OS find Linux Desktop too broken to deal with. The community chooses the narrative that protects their ego. > Anecdotally with friends and family, Fedora has been "normie"-friendly since 2007 or so Anecdotally I know a lot of people who do some kind of work with their computers and are programmers and general nerds who hate Linux Desktops because they are so broken.
