Hey guys,
I was wondering the other day, is there any kind of Linux popularization going on?
Most people I talk with and argue about Windows x Linux say that why should they bother spending half an hour just choosing the distro. And by my quick research, there is no fancy "Get Started" guide, where you could read about the benefits of Linux in general, or maybe answer a few questions like "For what do you use your PC most" or "How well can you operate your PC", and the site would just choose distro for you. Because that's what majority of users want - to just use their computer, not to think about what bootloader they want to try today...
The thing I'm mad about is, I've seen a Mac billboard saying something about "It's compatible with all your devices. Yes, it can even open Word or Excel.". Heck, is that a reason to buy an "overpriced Linux"? I don't think so...
I believe that Linux has come to a stage that it is usable by a majority of the population. So, why the only thing I hear is "Year <choose year> is the year of Linux Desktop". Am I the only one that feels that way?
