From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Normal users do care about whether their browser takes 1 or 5 seconds to start up. That's the difference between a new device and one from 3 years ago.
And for those that aren't comfortable with the terminal, snaps are an even bigger issue. All their apps will be slow and glitchy and they won't have any idea why.
I doubt it. Shooing the cat away take more time then that. Looking a the headlines on the tv takes longer. I can't picture any member of my family actually noticing.
As for snaps . shrug sure if any app is glitchy all they know is check for updates, hopefully they do.
