This is nice to know. Cinny looks beautiful from a UX perspective, wish they made an app too. Not enough good UX in open source stuff.

Neither was that YouTube video 🤷🏻‍♂️

That just results in an image of JSON Bourne.

Can vouch for their routers.

I do want to say though, they technically use their own version of OpenWrt, but you can just as easily install pure OpenWrt too.

It just sounds like an old school operating system, like OS/2.

I’m not saying everyone needs an iOS circa 2015 interface.

But I am saying something like KISS would never work, because the general public will just outright reject it.

What needs to exist is something in between: something simple and easy to use at stock, but with high customization ability that ranges from novice to advanced users.

Unfortunately, it seems most of the GUI experts work in the private industry and rarely do FOSS.

There’s a quote that goes something like this: “imagine the average dumb person, and then realize half the population is dumber than that”.

Having worked tech support, Arch is basically alien tech wizardry, a terminal is “hackerman” leet thing, and using Google to figure out an error code is “being tech savvy”.

Granted, it’s nowhere near as bad in Finland as it was in the USA, or Central America, but what you and I think is “super easy custom set up” is “⬧︎◆︎◻︎♏︎❒︎ ♏︎♋︎⬧︎⍓︎ ♍︎◆︎⬧︎⧫︎□︎❍︎ ⬧︎♏︎⧫︎◆︎◻︎” for a very significant portion of the population.

It’s easy to forget how hard something is when you’re used to it. Sure I might know what idiopathic glomerulonephritis is without looking it up but that doesn’t mean you might know what glomeruli are.

Likewise I might know what an EGR valve is but it doesn’t mean I know how to fix a Tesla.

You must come from a tech literate family.

If it was the default Android launcher, Android would die.

Which is a bit ironic for people that make UX/UI software
