Yay! That's been true of Mac OS for many years;
congrats to the Linux world for finally catching on.
 

We have a Mac Studio downstairs -- long story, but the
Missus prefers her Mac.  It's slower than my workstation though...
and I just bought her an ITX-based machine to run Linux for
various uses.

I put Cairo-dock on it, so she has the "Mac experience".

A 'puter is supposed to be a tool to do a job,
the underpinnings should ideally be unnoticeable.

Agreed, but someone has to maintain those underpinnings.

Every OS needs a guru from time to time -- that might be
you for your Mac, or someone else for grandma's Win11 machine.

 
IMO 'puter hobbyists are mostly deviants.

Speak for yourself, deviant. ;)
