Yea and I bet you installed it for them. If you provide IT support for people than yea totally doable. I switched to android and people call my phone a cheap phone or laugh at it granted the people I hang out with me included are middle class at best and I have a flagship phone and they are rocking iPhone 11s and stuff. Point being marketing is key and open source doesn't have a Nike like following

I tried Mac os and I thought it was cool until I got docker and it made me make an account. It also in order to change things in the desktop environment you had to pay for apps and I'm cheap. Windows is annoying to me after being on Linux for so long even if they have wsl. My computer broke and I ended up needing Linux to make an old MacBook we had work again is the only reason I switched originally. Developing software I appreciate that the ide and terminal are super convenient to use. Normal people for Linux.... Nope. Getting my Bluetooth to work was a 3 hour journey. Normal people use their PC that much in a month where as I use mine 12 hours+ a day.

Good to know. Thankyou! I was so upset a ubuntu update bricked my old MacBook and I bought a new laptop instead of dealing with it.

Hi I just checked it out looks awesome. Unfortunately going down the rabbit hole again is looking less appealing. That's what I liked about regolith, maybe I'm happy with gnome after reading the hyprland wiki 😅

Don't you have to download a file manager search application etc? In addition to just the tiler

 

I was using regolith ubuntu on an old MacBook and fell in love with i3wm on x11 or whatever it uses. Got a new computer Intel and the composters never worked right scrolling pages or watching videos. I gave up and went back to stock ubuntu. Wayland works well for me but my question is how hard is it to build a de like regolith using awesome it some other tiler? It seems intimidating

The Facebook tracking when not installed on the iphone is strange as I thought only android is pre installed in the background not iOS.
