    Technically difficult thing is technically difficult, let’s blame John Linux for not making a big red “host server” button.

      Man. THANK YOU.

      I’m all for welcoming and teaching everyone, but I’m getting real tired of all the “Linux will never catch on because grandma can’t instantly VM-passthrough her NVIDIA card and remote in with Wireguard” or “changing the wallpaper requires terminal-ninja skills” rhetoric.

      Some common things could use simpler on-ramps but people act like mega-corpo you're-too-dumb-let-us-do-it-for-you -ification is some kind of “good thing” for tech adoption , when the strategy is really to create dependent customers without a fundamental understanding of how anything works.
