What is happening in Norway, and how do we spread it?

I don’t think that’s been an issue for several years now. At least for distros focused on user friendliness.

I'm tired of pandering to people that can't take the time to learn how to operate a computer. I hate the trend of the last 25 years of making everything "idiot proof", because it's not helping people, it's making them dumber. I remember a time when normal users were expected to set DIP switches on their motherboards and edit autoexec.bat files.

A lot of gen-z doesn't even know what a hierarchial filesystem is anymore. They just shove all their media into "galleries", but can't actually tell you where that file is actually located.

I can't vouch for every Linux distro that claims to be user-friendly, but I've fully switched to Linux Mint a couple of months ago, and I've had no issues. The only times I've used the console are when I want to use it.

My biggest worry before fully switching was playing pirated games, or games that I bought outside of Steam, but using Lutris it has been pretty straight forward.

Try Aurora.

Everything I've tried to install has all been point and click using flatpaks.

If you're into gaming, use Bazzite instead, which comes with all the gaming stuff pre installed.
