Like seriously, if there was ever a time to do a concerted push for linux, it’s now. Start the campaigns, start the tutorials start the memes and the warnings and get the process down to under an hour. It won’t be a weird thing, it will be the lord and savior allowing your PC to continue even when windows says it can’t.

Sounds nice and I wish it was like that, but people who are not into tech won’t get those messages and wouldn’t care as for them it’s “it’s turning on, I don’t need to do all that”. Remember there’s people out there that do not understand computers in the slightest, and it’s just not there thing, have to much going on, or some other reason.

Plus Linux is far from “I just turn it on and it works” kinda person friendly.

Sadly, it’s the part of keeping it working for the periodic 5 minutes after that that is also a hurdle.
