> What an average person wants in their desktop is Windows - not Linux and certainly not some obscure independent distro. And this is still not a problem of that distro or Linux.

The average person doesn't even want Windows. They want to click a button and not be bothered with the implementation details.

That is why mobile/tablet is such a popular form of compute these days. People don't even have to learn the basics of interfacing with a file system most of the time. Want to look at pictures you've taken? You can be oblivious to the fact that your camera app puts picture files in a specific directory and embeds a date code in the file name, the photo viewer app takes care of that for you.

Just wait until LLM's and mcp matures; why tap tap tap your phone when you could just talk to Jarvis

Who is Jarvis?

[OJFord]

I think it's a (fictional) AI assistant in Iron Man.

[Izkata]

15 years ago almost everyone would recognize the name because of the popularity of the Iron Man movies.

10 years ago Jarvis became a part of Vision in Age of Ultron and effectively no longer exists in the MCU. A variety of new AI assistants with new names were made in later movies.

None of the new ones became as recognizable, and I guess Jarvis is also falling into obscurity.

Don't read too much into my only vague awareness (or person I responded to's unawareness) - I think I've seen one Iron Man film, or maybe only bits of it even. I'm just not into all that Marvel/DC/superhero stuff.

(And as a student I Saturday-jobbed at a cinema, so there's a certain era for which I've seen at the very least many odd scenes out of order for essentially all widely released films...)
