    One thing i had to learn when i started to understand how big techs really work, of what that would imply (see chat control) and get passionate about free software, free operative systems and freedom of customization is that freedom itself almost always requires work, the question is: is that a work you’re willing to do? for me the answer is a strong YES.

      For the average user all that extra works gives them very little return.

      Most people don’t want everyday computer use to be work.

      Fair.

      But I was just giving my perspective as an outsider who stumbled across this post because messing about with the terminal had the opposite affect on me as someone who appreciates the concept of Linux but doesn’t really have the level of passion to learn programming for it.
