It is a stereotype, but the statement itself is not an exaggeration. An average user has most of the software he needs even in linux. It is not foreign to the user if it is the first one (if it is default) he/she encounters.
- Nginx487 6y ago"Average" user must have used very limited amount of software. I agree, not everyone need software for modeling or design, but again, looking at Grammarly, which is pretty useful addon, and it's only available for MS Office. "Average user" may start from Libre Office, but end up disappointed, why addon developers don't care about him. And they don't care (well, maybe just deeply concerned), because investing 20-30% of the whole development time for supporting 1% of user base is financially pointless idea.
- majewsky 6y agoThe average user needs a web browser, full stop. This can be proven easily by looking at the market success of Chromebooks.
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoYou mean spell checker? Libre office has it.
- Nginx487 6y agoNo, I mean exactly what I said
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y ago> An average user has most of the software he needs even in linux. "Average User" is a strawman. The average human has fewer than two legs, yet we do not design things with the assumption that no one has two legs.
