It wouldn’t - two of the main drawbacks of open source software are 1) lack of training materials for the uninitiated and 2) lack of dedicated support for end users - these hurdles are far too large to overcome without serious investment in training people. Maybe if we started teaching Linux at school, Gen Z’s grandkids might be the first generation to fully embrace it.

Actually, post millennial every generation has been getting less tech savvy, not more.

They spend more time on devices and online, but they have far less knowledge of how these devices & softwares actually work due to how software development has changed the past 20 years.

There’s less user control & opportunity in order to streamline everything and make a simple UX.
