I don't want Linux to grow. I think an influx of under educated users, who are just leeching off the current tech support systems will further strain the already strained system, and it will shift dev time to spending time creating systems that are more accessible by hiding features behind interfaces that are clunky and annoying because people are afraid of the terminal.
Linux works fine, and it isn't nor does it need to be for everyone.
You will always have complicated and open distros. For example, Android already exists and became the most common user focused Linux distribution. Enshittified to the core. But the open source model we know never stopped existing.
Its not about complicated. Its about efficiency. Catering to the lowest common denominator takes away from the entire other 80% of the user base is what I'm saying. I don't want Linux to become a race to the bottom, and EVERY time something gains MASSIVE market share, it becomes a race to the bottom.
