We need to get normies on Linux. Full stop.
We did get normies on Linux. 70% of people use an Android phone. That’s Linux.
Linux can be dead easy to use, and normies can get used to it. It’s just a matter of the technology and the brand, both of which Valve seems to be working on lately. Linux is happening.
Android uses the linux kernel. It has little to do with what we actually mean when we say linux IMHO
then you should say systemd/linux /s
me: I use GNU/linux/systemd/Wayland/Plasma. what do you use?
my grandma: the computer
It’s a lot easier to get normies to use Linux if you tell them it’s what their phone runs on
And how much command line does the average user use while operating their android phone?
None? As it should be??
I am extremely confused about what you’re trying to say with the meme, then.
I think they are doing something that doesn’t require a gui
Doc is probably a Linux nerd who does everything in the CLI.
Doc was a physics nerd from the 1880s into the 2010s. He didn’t do cli, he did lower level than that.
How do I access the CLI on my phone?

Android got people on Linux the same way routers got people on BSD.
And besides the mobile environment should definitely NOT be used as an example for the desktop space. It’s a disgusting mess of strict vendor controls and proprietary crap trying to put heavy limits on what the user can or cannot do with their hardware. Absolutely don’t want that for my PC. I already have a sneaking suspicion that that’s where we’re headed with ARM on desktop, which is a scary thought.
