    IMO the “year of the Linux desktop” will come when distros are designed for people who shouldn’t even be allowed to use sudo.

      Let me introduce you to atomic distros.

      I moved my father on Bluefin 1.5 years ago from his antique MacBook Air. He doesn’t know sudo exists. He has never heard of ujust. He doesn’t even command line. He hasn’t had to do a single update because it all happens in the background. He just… uses it.

        doesn’t even have to be atomic, I rescued my wife’s shit laptop using Ubuntu Mate (snaps booing in background) and she has never seen the command line unless I open it. It’s been like that for over a year at least.

          Yes, but contrary to atomic distros, it’s not explicitely designed to be as administration free as possible.
