Linux will never catch on to the home users. It’s a schizophrenic system. The difference between Debian, Arch, and Fedora, is like saying Windows 7 programs can not be installed on Windows 10, nobody will ever talk about Windows 10.
People want to be able to download programs from websites, double click and install it. The whole “distribution” thing is stupid and is a wall blocking mass adoption. There’s people that only know how to use Adobe programs. People want brand name programs, not alternatives.
I use OpenBSD and FrerBSD, I’m setting up a BSD router, but for gaming, that is all exclusively on Windoes.
One tip if you truly want people you know to install Linux, learn how to do all of the configuration and maintaintence through SSH. If you are available at anytime to SSH and look at something, that would open up a few people willing to try. For example if someone calls you and says they want a program,you SSH in, type the command to install the program, and tell them it will be listed in the menu in a minute when it’s dine

I think a little thing called the iPhone App Store and the multi-billion dollar industry it spawned very much disagrees with you.
