Let’s say just like for example like MacOS. It’s awesome we have so many tools but at the same time lack of some kind of standardization can seem like nothing works and you get overwhelmed. I’m asking for people that want to support Linux or not so tech-savy people.

    To make Linux more appealing to the average person, you’d have to be able to buy a Linux PC at your local computer store. Most people can’t be bothered to install a new OS.

        What are you even talking about? Anyone can sell a PC with pre-installed Linux. There are already several companies today so just that.

          Let me clarify myself

          *It’s impossible to get big corporate guys attention so they ship Linux by default and it’s clearly tested. For now the Valve, System76, Framework and Tuxedo are exception.

          Edit: Also I was keeping in mind corporate entity behind OS.

          • Apple - MacOS
          • Microsoft - Windows
          • ? - Linux

            The big guys won’t sell Linux to consumers because of Microsoft’s anticompetitive practices. That’s the main thing that’s holding back Linux acceptance right now. But if some big player (e.g. Valve) would take the leap, things might get interesting.

            I’ve seen this type of question elsewhere. Why is it an issue?

            Standardisation? Corporate Linux? Just like the big boys? Big fish eat little fish.

            Careful what you ask for . .
