Still more consistent out of the box than the dozens of GUIs of Linux.

This could be smart if the largest mobile OS, Android, didn't have dozens of GUIs/Styles depending on the manufacturer's whim

Android is still more consistent than PC Linux. Most Android interfaces are nearly identical. Give me and Android phone that I've never used before and I know how to perform the most common tasks without help. Not the same.

Ah so because you're familiar with it it's easier? Interesting

[–] NotAGamer@lemmy.org 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That is my point. With Linux as a PC OS people cannot become familiar with it because there are too many user interfaces. The Linux supporters as a whole need to pick one and push it and only it to be viable for the average Joe.

Why does it need to be dumbed down for the average joe?

Why does guis need to be designed for the person not using it? Why not design them for the people using it now and improve them for the actual users of the software instead of the persons NOT using the software?

Thats a stupid idea and that very line of thought is the brainrot that has led to the enshittification of so much the last couple of decades.
