I say it a lot, that most people don't get that Artificial Intelligence is more Artificial than Intelligent.
It appears to have miraculous results at times, but half the reason is that humans figured out the best forms of artificial to apply to specific problems to get good looking results.

Depends what you're trying to do. For the most part, during day to day business it doesn't come up. You can do most important stuff from the gui, and most of that stuff has guardrails like you'd expect from a modern gui.
I think it's even simpler than that. Most people just use a web browser these days. Chrome on windows and Chrome on linux really aren't that different.
But windows is good enough most of the time, and you'd have to go out of your way to get linux, so of course only a small minority of people will use it.
Personally, I have two computers I use, one for gaming and one for the road, and the gaming laptop is windows of course, and the laptop for the road is linux because it supports the older hardware a lot better. Still just have brave, discord, element, and vlc open.

One of the things I find annoying is that people think the reason linux isn't used more is that it isn't good enough. In reality, it's for many reasons but not that one.
It's just hard to change people's habits, especially when those habits are generally easy. Just go buy a computer, you have windows.

It was pretty funny.
"I want to go somewhere I'll be free to say what I want!" oh noes people are saying what they want!

Ah, I see.
I can relate. When I started to push back and change my circumstances after college, I hadn't even been on a date, or held a girl's hand, or anything of the sort since grade school. And there I was, all alone in a strange city far from nowhere.

Just looking at the number of people with access to your DMs, especially if you're running your own instance or are on a fairly small instance, you're better off if only because there aren't tens of thousands of twitter employees who are two seconds away from finding every message you've made to anyone at any given second.
It has to be a game, and a game you either play correctly or incorrectly, and if she rejects you it's just because you weren't playing correctly and it's not because you're a fundamentally loathsome creature who will never know love and you need to just accept you're not a chad and you'll never meet a girl who likes you.
If I didn't stop thinking about how scared I was and just make a silly joke about personal space to a cute girl in line at crowded bar one time, I never would have set off a chain of events that would ended with my long happy marriage and beautiful son.
Along the way I did get rejected sometimes, occasionally by girls I'd really started to get to know and like, maybe even girls I'd started to get physical with. It hurt worse than getting punched in the gut. There were some serious times I just wanted to crawl in the corner and die. You need to tell yourself *something* so you will take that pain and get back up and try again and not take it personally. So you say it's a game and you lost but you'll do better next time.

It's funny because in my view, this still comes back to the fact that you have to work on yourself. It's a choice to become that person.
Economics means a lot more than just money, and this is another case where economics can be a lens through which to view something. Why would someone support you? Of course the world isn't digital, so it isn't like there's any one switch you throw to answer that, but you'd support someone else because you think there's value in doing so.
I've been on the wrong side of too many "oh hes a single man he's evil and just wants one thing", and it sucks. But life is hard and reality is there's a lot of men like that out there. There's a lot of liars and used car salesmen, lots of people who will promise one thing and deliver another. Lots of single mothers out there who were duped.
And you know, you can get that support by being attractive in ways too. Of course different people are seeking different things. Some people want to see their friends happy. Some people want to feel like they've helped someone who is a good person. Some people can't really be understood so logically. But there is something there, a feeling in their gut.
So that's another reason why you work to build something, be intelligent, learn wisdom, be virtuous, be interesting, and bravely push yourself out of your comfort zone despite millions of years of primate socialisation in our DNA telling you not to.
Or not. Whatever.

Going to get my passport a few weeks ago. My birth certificate is 30 years old, so it had some paper missing from the sides. "Oh, there might be something written there, I can't accept this"
