I wonder how hard it would be to write a simple window manager where
all it does is have big ass icons on the desktop
INTERNET
EMAIL
FACEBOOK
NETFLIX
PORN
and for windows management simply a windowbar with a big red X. Might
even be possible to configure FVWM for that. Then of course harden the
os, noexec,nosuid on home partition, kernel and compiler hardening, all
that jazz. Something a chip could figure out. That's the level of
effort 90% of the public put into their computing. This way we wouldn't
have Microsoft and Apple mainstreaming their stupud fucking walled
gardens, protocols and standards on everyone.
