The same with multiple people I know. Its not perfect, but neither is Windows. > There are now adults that grew up in the age of social media that have no idea how local computing works. They like it given a chance. My daughters for example far prefer Linux to Windows. | ||

> They like it given a chance. My daughters for example far prefer Linux to Windows. The two topics are orthogonal. GP talks about "local computing" vs. "black box in the cloud", the difference between running it vs. using it. You're talking about various options to run locally, the difference between running it this way or that way. Linux or Windows users probably understand basic computing concepts like files and a file system structure, processes, basic networking. Many modern phone "app" users just know what the app and device shows them, and that's not much. Every bit of useful knowledge is hidden and abstracted away from the user. They get nothing beyond what service the provider wants them to consume. | ||
