    Nah. I’ve been advocating for Linux for decades. For decades I’ve been trying to convince people to switch on its own merits, but none of that has been effective.

    It took Microsoft sabotaging their product for me to see the needle shift. So I’m done trying to convince people with carrots, it’s time for Microsoft to convince the masses with sticks.

      Yeah I think the masses are going to be a tough sell on Linux until computer manufacturers start offering Linux builds with a pre-installed instance.

      I’m sure there are places that do it but there’s probably money to be made in just setting up Linux on machines for people.

        You can get laptops on Amazon now with Ubuntu pre-installed. :)

        Everyone’s family needs a tech geek to install Linux on a brand new computer.
