What Microsoft's Windows 11 will probably look like

Re: Just

The only user friendly version of Unix (that does everything they expect it to do) is MacOS.

Linux will never be a mainstream OS for day to day end users until they sort out the fact that it's not only techies that use computers. Whilst you and I may be able to mount a USB device via the command line, most dense home users cannot. They just want stuff to work. And unfortunately Linux is too much of a change for them to make.

It's why Apple is so successful - whilst it may annoy us techies that they limit access (and if you go under the hood with the Unix command line it's OK) the home users just love it as it's not complex like Windows or Linux. It generally just 'works' for them.
