I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.

FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.

        Then we’re doomed. I use linux (Fedora) as my daily drive, but I don’t see it becoming more popular than Windows in the near future.

          I think with handhelds becoming more and more viable, and thus hopefully more popular, steamOS and other distro’s will be a must because of the god awfull windows handheld support. And with more people using them, they will also get better over time.

          Gaming is the biggest thing that prevents me from switching entirely to Linux, unfortunately

            It was my main concern, so I dualboot (my main drive 500gb SSD runs Fedora while I have another SSD of 1TB with Windows 10).

            Most games I play are running flawless on fedora (rn I’m playing No Mans Sky), as most Steam Games (you can check protondb for your favorite titles) and I’ve been more than a month without booting windows, but other titles as Fortnite can’t run on Linux.

            For your games on Epic and GOG you can use Heroic Launcher. Gaming on Linux is getting easier on daily basis.

          The Linux Desktop has been improving by leaps and bounds over the last few years.

          More popular than the OS with majority market share is an unrealistically high bar for success. I could totally see linux become a mainstream desktop OS at some point.

            It’s definitely growing, but is still mainly used by techie people. Lots of people are still afraid of the command line or remember how was Linux +10 years ago. We’ll have to do our part!
