    I live in Ottawa, ON, Canada which has Gatineau, Québec on the other side of the river. A lot of people here are bilingual and will just switch to whatever language works better for the person they're talking to. The default language on the Québec side is French and the default on the Ontario side is English

    Deleted my comment because I decided I'm not informed enough to say anything but it was the first I had heard of Syria being involved. I knew about Lebanon and Iran

    I don't really think that's fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.

    I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that's the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.

    Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it's not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop

    Like 50. I used to have a ridiculous amount of sunglasses I got given as free merch. Nowadays I just have a prescription pair of sunglasses I replace every few years
