Well yea, Linux is about learning how the computer works; wheras windows wants to hide it
Linux is software.
It doesn't contain this intrinsic meaning you refer to.
Linux is FOSS, maybe check that up?
No. This may be the case for some distros like Gentoo or Arch, but applying this to the whole ecosystem and expecting everyone to even be interested in computers (which they should not fucking have to be to use a user-friendly Linux) is what alienates people.
Exactly. If Linux expects me to open a program before I can use it, that's already too complicated for most people. I want to just tell the computer what I want and have it so it for me. I don't want to know what a file is or what Firefox does, leave that nerd shit out of my OS.
Then go to apple or smth?
Using the terminal is actually telling the computer what to do.
Linux is community made and it will kill itself it it doesn't reproduce.
Linix needs people to understand it, so we can maintain it.
iPhone is too complicated for most people who don't want to know what an app is
