I was listening to an episode of @TechOverTeaShow with @BrodieOnLinux and the topic of how some #Linux users don't care about (or even against) Linux going mainstream.
I strongly disagree with the suggested psychological motivations, while those might be true for some.
I think the issue is, that if you want something to go mainstream, you need to compromise, and meet the lowest common denominator.
I use #ArchLinux because I don't want compromises. I want the best possible system for me.
Sometimes things are hard not because the creators are lazy to make it easy, or they don't want people to use their product.
Sometimes things are hard because to have more control, you have to know more, and knowing more is inherently difficult.

@nicemicro some problems are just hard. you can't reduce the solution further without building a solution for an entirely other, simpler, problem.
