Eh, users can still learn a little, and fiddle with their personal stuff. My little "corebooted Chromebook running Q4OS Linux looking like Windows XP, with background from Apple and the start menu labeled as Finder" brings me joy every time I use it. It was and is pure fun.

And the great thing about enthusiastic devs is that they tend to be happy to spread the joy of their own personal projects and help, unless they get overwhelmed by help requests.

Oh absolutely, I just mean we usually have no choice in our tools. There are rare exceptions, like using blender instead of something autodesk, but I can't think of others similar to that
