  13. What Do They Use?

  14. Lessons Learned

  15. Desktops are very personal.

  16. Linux “just works.”

  17. (The Cloud helped).

  18. Intuitive = Familiar

  19. “You may always choose none of the above. Withholding choice is not death. Quite on the contrary, it is one of the few things distinguishing life from its digital imitators.” ̶ Douglas Rushkoff, Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age

  20. Defaults Defaults are bad. are good.

  21. Successful users understand their options.

  22. For non-technical users, having to go under the hood is a feature, not a bug.

  23. Linux doesn’t force you to think about your workflow, but it makes it easy to think about your workflow.

  24. Change is OK

  25. Desktop Linux is not for everyone.

  26. Questions?
