I don't know who said it, but it fits the current Windows vs Linux moment perfectly. "Most people don’t want control. They want optionally having control."

Windows gives you the worst of both worlds. It restricts the control over the things that matter, and dumps unnecessary knobs on everything else.

Linux flipped that. It stays out of your way, lets you change what you actually care about, and never fights you for ownership of your own computer.

Linux won/is winning because it quietly became the place where your computer feels like yours again.
