Same. I’ve been using some flavor of linux or BSD since the late 90s, but the bar for entry HAS to come down to equivalent Windows level of ease of use in order for plebes to use it. It isn’t adopted at Windows rates for dozens of reasons that have been hashed to death already.
I moved a year or two ago and the bar for entry has dropped down close to windows levels, the problem is that installing an OS is still more than people want to do. If major computer retailers were offering something like Mint by default and Windows as a paid upgrade, like some gaming computer retailers do, you’d see a quick jump in Linux use just due to the convenience.
it was years ago for me already
