    The future of PCs in general is tied to professionals and gamers, there is no need for a pc anymore in an household who is not anything of the above

    Which means that the average PC user will become more and more tech savy, this is the only thing that could raise the Linux market share

    On the other hand I don’t see a single chance of linux becoming relevant in personal computing unless a big corporation decides to offer an experience that is/has:

    • A polieshed UI, something eye-pleasing like MacOs
    • Noob friendly in the sense that it offers a 100% TRUE terminal-free experience
    • Reliable across hardware of any kind, the average user doesn’t want to worry about graphic or wifi drivers. Heck the average user doesn’t even know what a driver is
    • Not buggy
    • An easy way to install any software they need, today’s program coverage in various software centers often doesn’t fulfill the needs of the average user











  • When I mentioned the algorithm I meant it was too good at understanding what you like and that leads to polarization

    You just said you trained it in your own way but you were still using it thus getting polarized just like other people

    What I was suggesting is to completely avoid it and just watch what you search and or are subscribed to


  • Actually watching only what you search for or are subscribed to is a great way to stop wasting your time on stupid shorts you used to watch for hours a day (at least for me)

    Plus I don’t want an algorithm to feed me stupid things it thinks I would like, that’s what leads to polarization and countless other negative aspects in social media

    Also I suggest to everyone readinh to watch “The social dilemma” a masterpiece that exposes these problems
