Why wouldnt linux and FOSS benefit from usage? At the least it result in social validation, if not bug reports

  Social validation brings incompetent users expecting something like Windows that "just works". Even if they could bring some bug reports... We have lots of those already! We have decades of ignored bug reports.

    Wait, do we not want incompetent users on Linux? That's a weird take. Linux is not for elite technologically profound users, it's for everybody. If things don't work for non-technical users, we should strive to make it better?

      As if Linux devs just sat and did nothing for the last 30 years... Linux today is the best they could do and it's not even at the Win95 functional level. No, we don't want incompetent users on Linux. It's going to be something like eternal september.

    Why would only incompetent users expect something that "just works"?
    • M95D 6mo ago
      Because they don't know (yet) that Linux just doesn't work.
