Linux isn't ready for the mass Market yet. I say that as someone that has been a Windows free household for like over 8 years and who actively attempts to convert as many of my friends as I can.
It is not and probably never will be general market ready. Too fragmented and too many options. Which is why I love it so I wouldn't want it to change either.
It is ready if you start learning it from children, but people first touches a Windows machine, and then they get used to what they already know.
Example of someone that never touched a Windows, post from 2 years ago: https://duncanlock.net/blog/2022/04/06/using-windows-after-15-years-on-linux/
And I read people that claims they are better on Ubuntu because is what they first started to use (because of lack of money) and now they find it hard to use Windows, because they got used to Linux and they aren't either programmers.
Maybe what Linux needs is marketing. The Steam console is an example of how well it sells.
Some Valve documentation was released concerning third party hardware shipping with SteamOS. Big if true.
there are loads of options, but if you ask almost any linux person what distro you should start with, the answer is mint
I'm not sure what universe you live in lol. Yes lots of people like mint but plenty hate it. I don't hate it but it wouldn't be/hasn't been my recommendation when converting people
@LordKitsuna @pupbiru Same here. I wouldn't recommend Mint mostly because I don't have experience with it, but also, I haven't heard anything about it that makes me think it'd be a slam-dunk recommendation even if I had used it.
