@landley @stman @OS1337 OFC this shift has been gradual and slow.
#Netbooks introduced people to the concept of #WebApps and accepting lower performance for lower price and more battery runtime.
#Smartphones became cheaper to the point one can get a < €100 one shipped next day via Aperzon and likely even a < € 50 one (+shipping) from eNay or ShitExpress without even negotiating at all.
#Chromebooks then extended #Android to something more "productive" and #Apple's #iPad followed suit - don't get me started on #Microsoft's failed and overpriced #Surface crap tho!
#FirefoxOS tried to go full in on the concept of "All you need is a Browser really" but as we all know they hamfisted themselves by not actually selling devices to people that want them - I know @fuchsiii and I wanted one but the only way to get one was to get some obscure Spanish Prepaid Bundle (which noone would proxy-buy because ID registration bs), get the #Netlock / #SimLock removed and then shipped to Germany...
And for most "#Users", which lets be honest are the "#TechIlliterate #Normies", all they need is something that can open up NSAbook, Aperzon, YouNuke and allow them to access the #WebMailer of their provider...
The only reasons I still deploy #UbuntuLTS for these is because they tend to randomly want to print stuff, copy files, edit an eMail and put some fancy fonted text into a PDF.
And because #GDPR & #BDSG are inherently incompatible with #CloudAct but I still have to maintain stuff...
