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?
