Why, though? Like, why should we care?
Please don’t.
Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn’t some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.
I guess they mean “how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular.”
As Linux itself is insanely popular, it’s everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.
System76 (a laptop maker “rebrander”) is making their own desktop. Can’t think why ASUS, Lenovo or Dell could not contribute to some desktop or maintain their version.
Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.
And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.
System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.
but they already do for their buggy ass apps like armory crate. I think that they are afraid to commit ressources for an OS that is barely used on desktop.
People don’t have any reason to recommend Windows because it’s the regular OS everyone already uses.
Linux may be an improvement for a lot of people’s use cases but a vast majority of them don’t even know it exists and its not just for servers and stuff. Mac people probably do this too.
Well, I do. In fact I’ve installed Linux on 4 classmate’s laptops, after insisting for some time.
When you tell people to use Linux and they have any issues or something is unclear, they’ll ask you every time. Not sure how many people I could support simultaneously.
