  • I learned about it in school and we didna few assignments for it

    But… never seen or heard anyone mention it outside of that

    I guess we can make up some nische vases

    I did hear it can be useful for video games though. But then again im sure people can manage fint without, as well

  • No, it doesn’t have to be, that’s not the point.

    Indeed

    but you gotta admit it would help mass adoption.

    i cannot install linux on my mothers pc, because all she needs is…

    excel, and a browser.

    and excel isn’t on linux.

    and sure, i could show her libreoffice calc - i use that without issue - but she’s not interested in learning anything new these days

    and sure, installing excel, specifically, isn’t super easy on windows. But generally, installing a piece of software on windows, is easier than linux. There’s often an installer package downloadable from the website - where as for linux you’re often greeted with a terminal command.

    Thats not “mom friendly”, especially not for the stereotypical “mom” who doesn’t know tech.

    Phones have made it super easy to install software - and the app stores for mac and windows are good solutions for these non-tech savvy people. Only a few distros have an alternative, as far as i know
