    Well I can tell you why Linux does not have a higher adoption rate: toxic shit like this.

    • Na the biggest and main reason why Linux doesn’t have a higher adoption rate (on desktop) is that it’s not preinstalled on the devices you buy.

      There are obviously other factors but they are miniscule in comparison

        Most people don’t want to have to use a cmd line to use their PC.

        Edit: Seriously, why is it such a confusing prospect to linux users that linux is difficult. Literally, every thread on here comparing distros is filled with

        “I used debian, but I had to update it every day or my graphics drivers would fail.”

        “Oh to fix that regularly occuring issue, just type ‘cgreg320 -I1I0O xx /*poweruninstall the year your motherboard was manufactured’ into the command prompt.”

        “Oh yeah, Nvidia graphics cards, AMD motherboards, Steam, Chrome, Adobe products, left-handed mice, and the letter F are unsupported on this distro.”

        Windows is easy. Not great, but easy.

      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux.

        Oh no, I can no longer tell if you are serious or making fun of the people who are serious.

          The best know how to tread the line perfectly. Some say that even they don’t know if they’re serious.
