    I find it strange that people call it user-friendly, despite it doing a lot of things hostile to the user.

      Just more in the neighborhood of being used or understanding something because it has been given to them from a very young age on. So getting familiar and used to it very young age on makes it “friendly” even though it is more “familiarity”.

      Linux is always going to be really awkward at first but over the course of time you learn and shy away and develop your own kinda workflow and that’s the beauty of it in my opinion.

      “user friendly” doesn’t mean “in the users’ best interests”, it means “easy to use”.
