Yup the first person i thought of when seeing this meme is my apprentice, he is 19 and has only ever had an iPhone and cheap Chromebook. Even at school and everyone he knows is the same. We work in controls and all the technician side programs are all interfaces straight out of the 90s, I let him use my laptop the one day and he can barely use the menus, cant use any office program, had no idea what an IP address is and if the default com port doesn’t work there is no way he was going to end up at the device manager page. Not that most people wouldn’t have a bit of a learning curve.
Its the “apps” and web-apps its just one more layer of abstraction to turn your computer from a tool into an appliance.
He’ll be fine eventually, he’s going to buy himself a real laptop and start playing with it he said and there’s the internet to learn anything he could need eventually. (Well not always where we work but hell manage). But I’d have almost the same difficulty teaching a young man who’d never seen a computer before as I would him.
Graphene also is way easier to use their google play sandbox then messing around with microg and shit on lineage. I’d love to see the sandbox stuff ported to lineage or similar but I imagine its pretty baked into graphene. Since I care a little about privacy but also just want my phone to be rooted so I can do whatever I want with it. Oh well maybe someday.
Use wg-easy has a dead simple web ui then just send your friends a link to wireguard downloads page and a copy of the their .conf file it has an import button.
I just tell them its the app you need to connect to my network. True enough and I’ve never had anyone have much issues.
