Linux isn't a good alternative if you're tech illiterate. I don't quite get why people push it as if it'll solve anything! Sure it's a great alternative if you know how to use the internet to troubleshoot and have an understanding of what you're doing. But people who are tech illiterate probably don't fall into either of those categories.

Evey fucking Linux user is going to "well actually," these types of comments too! Congrats on being tech literate. Now go study human computer interaction before you suggest fucking Linux of all things as an alternative for tech illiterate people.

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.
