There might be a very simple explanation for why the masses have yet to adopt Linux as their desktop operating system and it's one the open-source community won't like.

I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

    This is the only answer, and anybody who doesn’t agree just doesn’t understand users. They just use whatever you give them.

      … and by implication, it guarantees that Linux will (almost definitely) never be the world’s desktop. Mainly because there’s no one single company to blackmail.

        Android managed it, so can desktop Linux. We just need manufacturers who will ship it as default.
