    What’s wrong with it being for “hobbyists?”

    It is great for anyone who wants to actual have control over there own computing. It isn’t and never was for “grannies”

      Until you can get the grannies to adopt, linux will always be a novelty for desktops

      That’s the point I was trying to make

      And in true linux fanatic fashion, you are incapable of understanding just how terrible a product linux in general is

        By that logic it will always be a novelty

        The thing is, the real Linux user base isn’t granny. It is the users who are interested in computers or computer related things. Linux isn’t for everybody but it isn’t a novelty either. Being a novelty would mean it is has no functional value which isn’t the case as it does have some market share.

        Also there is no reason granny can’t be a computer nerd
