I'm talking about shit like people who say GNOME is impossible to use because it combines Mission Control, Launchpad, and Spotlight Search into one overview because that's "too different".

:blobfoxthinkgoogly:

People who absolutely refuse to learn any kind of slightly different workflow and default to saying that anything different than what they're used to is stupid. People who refuse to use Mastodon because it's not a 1-to-1 clone of Twitter. I am not saying you should need a master's degree in computer science in order to turn on a PC. Please don't read the most ill-intentioned POV possible into an inane post about people being stubborn and unwilling to learn new things. Accessibility in computing is incredibly important and deserves dedicated workflows in order to be open to as many people as possible, which is a *huge* problem on Linux right not that a lot of people are working to address with Wayland. Hopefully that gets even more love.
