I’m not proposing anything here, I’m curious what you all think of the future.

What is your vision for what you want Linux to be?

I often read about wanting a smooth desktop experience like on MacOS, or having all the hardware and applications supported like Windows, or the convenience of Google products (mail, cloud storage, docs), etc.

A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it’s now your desktop computer. That’s one vision. ChromeOS has its “everything is in the cloud” vision. Stallman has his vision where no matter what it is, the most important part is that it’s free software.

If you could decide the future of personal computing, what would it be?

    What? Is this sarcasm? CLI offers much more debug potential than GUIs.

      For someone who knows what they’re doing maybe, but this is about those who don’t, which is 99% of people.

        So what are you doing when a GUI tells you “error”? You give up and do something else?

            This is no argument, this is simple opinion without any base. How does a “next/proceed/ok” button tell you anything? Also windows is hilariously known for its horrendous error messages. Stop trolling please.
