Finland has something similar: i can use my bank account to log in to places to see my medical info for example.

Felt like sharing this since maybe someone else has struggled with similar thoughts.

Been using fediverse with mastodon for months now. People are often much nicer, there are actual discussions and trolls are easy to block. Can recommend.

I would never use google for my business. I would rather self host it, especially with a small team or solo.

Youre right. But then again i dont believe many would care if they can get their basic things done.

I also understand there are people who just are not willing to learn new things.

I hope i dont sound like im trying to push linux to people. I want people to have choice of many instead of choice of two when they go buy a new PC. And maybe some would be curious enough to try something new.

I agree with you there.

Been tinkering with Matrix homeservers and wanted to share my thoughts. Also there's an example for Nginx config if someone is stuck in a similar issue.

Yup! The moment you start installing proprietary software you start noticing it. I had the same experience. I thought it was obvious so i didnt mention it.

But most people, from what ive seen, only use the internet browser and maybe some built in apps. Keep it there and the lines between OS' start to blur.

Edit: to add, this is usually why i tell anyone interested to use linux is to try the tools available first, then if you get used to them, make the switch. Luckily i had already used same tools on windows (gimp, krita, blender) that also work on linux.

I tried it with my fiancee, although not with windows skin. Just default plasma. She opened internet browser and used it just fine.

Of course she cant move to linux due to adobe software, not that i need her to do anything like that. Anyone can use what they want, my point was that most people dont even know theres other choices than windows and mac.

Also ive been using windows all of my life, recently switched to kubuntu because i got tired of the updates. Didnt take me long to learn to use the pc.

What attitude am i conveying? I really dont know, english is not my first language.

I just dont think that most people just care what the thing is running as long as it does the job. Computers are an appliance to many, just like a toaster. If the functionality is close to what theyre used to (windows or mac) then there shouldnt be big adaptility problems until they want to go deeper into the device than web browsing.

For me it will always be associated with Quake, although my first foray to world of Quake was with Quake Live. Still play it sometimes.

akselmo | 4 years ago | on: Farewell, Elementary

If the machine had linux with windows skin on, most people wouldnt notice since everything is done through web browser nowadays

Cant say i have encountered this yet. But flatpak aims to solve this problem.
