You can be certain "the masses" won't use it if it isn't simple. You seem to want everyone to give up on the idea that Linux Desktop could become mainstream.

You can be certain "the masses" won't use it if it isn't simple. You seem to want everyone to give up on the idea that Linux Desktop could become mainstream. The Gnome project wants to pursue that goal, and so does Valve apparently. I see nothing wrong with that, given that there are many options to fill every other kind of users' needs/wants.
- quanticle 4y agoValve doesn't want the Linux desktop to become mainstream. They want a viable Linux gaming ecosystem. That's a different task than ensuring that Linux is a viable alternative to Windows for the millions of HP/Dell/Lenovo laptops that people buy each year. As for what's wrong with Gnome pursuing "the masses", I'd have far less animosity towards Gnome if they pursued the masses without actively spitting on their existing users. However, they seem incapable of doing that.
