I see your /s but we all watched Linux Sebastian burn an easy distro to the ground with ample warnings while refusing to read any information about the distro. And he’s on the long side of the Dunning-Kruger curve for windows.
I think we need everything to work out of the box on all major hardware, no terminal commands, video accelerators working by default and steam to be a one-click install.
I see your point but there are to many options and preferences. For one, the borders to what is “Major hardware” are very subjective. So are people’s need. (I’m your opposite: I must have a terminal, I don’t care one bit about video acceleration and and my interest steam is an absolute zero)
So do that and you might end up with a windows-alike crappy platform. My expectations (and/or) hopes are that different distro’s will keep focusing on different users groups. Some perfect for gaming, another for developers, a few for daily usage of email & browsing and so on
What you need isn’t what everyone needs. I suspect you’ll have a very hard time finding massive numbers of windows users who only need a terminal.
I sincerely hope that you don’t need one distribution for games and another for developers, Having to reboot to play games is why we’ve had such bad penetration for years.
Every distro needs to be able to handle all the video cards from the last decade. Lutris and Steam need to run really well everywhere or we’ll take forever to get proper market penetration.
Are you saying seasoned windows users can’t cope with LFS (linux from scratch) first time around? /s
