If you think Linux competes on the average user desktop you’re too far gone. I say this as someone who runs Linux at home and works every day with Linux
Competes in which way? User share, or actual functionality?
For me, there are only two reasons why a flavor of Linux isn’t my daily driver OS (but have it as dual boot on most of my “PCs”) - Excel and AutoCAD/Revit. That and maybe some special kinds of system disk FDE that I’m not sure Veracrypt can do on Linux.
My reasoning is I now have a non tech career and I’m fucking tired after work 6 days a week. I don’t really care about a few bucks, I just want it to be easy. But I’m also not cool with the state of windows now, and still have enough tech knowledge to be worried about the privacy issues that come with newer versions of windows. That being said, I do not have the motivation, energy or time required to learn to code enough to run Linux.
