@ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace i do. I love Debian. I’m from Indiana it’s a requirement lol. Ian Murdock grew up an hour from me. But I guess I try to understand with the big guys they are working towards desktop linux. normal people arent like us. honestly until theres a comprehensive set of GUI tools for managing systemd and people never have to touch a terminal GNU Linux wont have a place in home desktop market. Its getting there though. I hope people keep the choice alive though.
Oh that's really cool! Did you ever meet the guy?
Also, I agree with the GUI part. Especially nowadays with people being so used to tablets, even the kids, that using a PC is becoming confusing.
Maybe when Linux becomes a serious contender on tablets and smartphones, that will all change. Who knows.
