They released their desktop environment publicly, which imo was the main reason to use it

I never found elementary really worked that well for me, though pantheon is lovely

What's your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z

If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone they're not going to tell you a filepath because that's not how people use smartphones. I probably couldn't tell you where photos are stored physically on my phone without going out of my way to find that info

Also Google photos is a valid answer to that question because the file is saved in Google photos, just because it's cloud storage doesn't make it not storage. In that case local storage is basically just a cache anyway

That's a conscious decision though I said someone who doesn't know

You're probably right but it wouldn't be a clean implementation for the os to do it. If it was more universal and better documented app devs could just put notices in themselves

I've seen maybe 4 people using Linux in real life and 2 of them are friends/family

If you're in any of the Linux related discords for long enough to pick up on it you'll realize there are a lot of kids there

It's a pretty good indicator. If you spend all day working with computers chances are you'll be able to type quickly

Pretty sure someone who doesn't know to plug their GPU in is probably not running Linux

We didn't have specific typing class but we had IT in both primary and secondary, at least late gen z got plenty of computer time in school and most I know in my generation are decent typists at least

Man look at millennials turning into boomers at record pace

"back in my day we did things properly, now all these damn kids... etc etc"
