Ok, now tell the linux people this.
It's not always obvious or easy to make what non-techies will find easy. Changes could unintentionally make the experience worse for long-time users.
I know people don't want to hear it but can we expect non-techies to meet techies half way by leveling their tech skill tree a bit?
In order to charge her iphone, my mom first turns on airplane mode, and THEN she powers it down. Turns it off completely. I asked why she does any of that. She says "Because they won't flip the charge switch for me until they do! I wish I could take the battery out first, and THEN turn off the phone. But I suppose if they can't see my battery with airplane mode on first, this is just as good."
And you want this woman to learn terminal?
Learning is difficult but I have to believe it is still part of the solution.
