Open source more often than not is not quality assessed as some commercial products, and hence the UX and ease of use falls behind. So if open source as an ideal wants to be successful, it needs to step in that regard.

Take Blender which was terrible for years and years, but changed happened because the projects they did allowed them to work with professionals which could point out shortcomings.

Or GIMP, its UX is terrible still afaik.

Or lets install Linux, as long as it takes a considerable expertise and doesn’t come preloaded, people won’t switch.
