The UK government is giving Apple and Google three months to build on-device scanning infrastructure. This isn't about child safety; it's about the end of private devices and the death of the "nothing to hide" fallacy.

Sorry, I didn't catch on to the embedded sarcasm part. Anyhow back to arguing.

Linux user friendly enough for most people? The most trivial thing for you can be really complex for others without experience.

I have seen windows users use macOS for the first time and vise versa. Neither windows or macOS are intuitive. What do you mean you have to open a browser and download an exe file and then open it (said some macOS user)? Why does your window snapping barely work? (said some windows user) I'd say a first time user would consider linux more intuitive than either macos or windows.

There isn’t anything intuitive about opening terminal to install an app from the repository because the default app store version is broken.

Yeah this is true, kinda funny when people use chatgpt for help and the first thing it always says is open terminal.

And to be fare just last night I installed fedora on some laptop with an old fedora 42 iso and I tried to update it to fedora 44 using the gui software manager and it just didn't work. I ended up updating in the terminal.
