    Yes average people need to learn the open source stack instead of Microsoft.
    It used to be most people could just learn some Microsoft thing, and they were almost guaranteed a job. Obviously a lot of people will be unhappy that isn’t the case anymore, and they’ll be annoyed they have to learn something new.

    But this should have been done 20 years ago when Linux was obviously ready for it, and sensible people have advised it for just as long.
    In the old CP/M days we had lots of good software developed locally, but when IBM became dominant, and chose to use MS-Dos, Microsoft was very cleverly deviously leveraging that to sabotage the competition, and take mostly every main stream market.

    Trump is kind of a blessing in disguise, because he finally got people to wake up to reality.
