But, how the average person wants to use a computer is extremely, irreconcilably different from how the 5% (or 2% probably but whatever, doesn't matter) want to use their computers.

So... sniff sniff what's that smell? The market working is it then?

Both Vitamix blenders and recumbent bicycles have less market share than desktop Linux. Is that because recumbent bike makers just really have no idea how people want to ride bicycles, or...

yeah

Gnome is the outlier with beautiful design and they get soo much shit from Linux neckbeards for it haha

> This is why linux perpetually has <5% adoption. It's made and maintained by linux enthusiasts who are incapable of understanding how the average person wants to use a computer.

No. That's a gross generalization. You have all sorts of people using Linux, including leading UX experts.

What you don't have is a single governing body pulling everyone in the same direction, so efforts get diluted(even when prioritized).

They understand, but they don't care. The 5% want to have a system that is designed for themselves and not the other 95%.
