I hear you, but getting non technical people on board is a huge barrier.
Let’s be honest, using *nix can be like the MS-DOS days at times unless you’ve been through the learning curve. And non technical people want things to just work out of the box.
Yeah we’re on exactly the same page. And drivers, ffs, drivers; so so many hours lost fixing that stuff, sometimes only partially in a “urgh, I’ve kinda got this working after 3 hours of hacking” kinda way.
*nix will never be mainstream for regular users or get adoption outside of containers until we solve that barrier to entry.
No one’s grandparents are gonna invest hours in a terminal / bash

I want things to work out of the box too! Last think I want to come home and do is use CLI to make my PC work to play a game.
