How do we make people use Linux?

no need to force them. let them come on their own terms. everyone has their own tolerance to abuse microsoft is pushing on them.

that's the neat thing, you don't.

Static linking.

>>109103818
You don't. Let people use whatever they want. It doesn't affect me, so why should I care?

Mine was when Windows decided to delete half my programs for no reason given.

>If Linux is so good
The problem is that Linux isn't good. It's an extremely user unfriendly piece of shit.
If Linux wanted to become a good alternative to Windows they should just throw almost every piece of open source crap in the bin and focus ALL their efforts on improving Wine so that it can run at least 95% of major applications that people actually use.
Also freeze the kernel-to-driver ABI so that manufacturers can write proprietary drivers for their hardware without having to tie to a specific kernel version.

I'm happy with the state of things now. I don't see a huge influx of users as a good thing.
>>
>>109103895
We don't want everyone to use linux, if they all use it, it will turn to shit. Look at what happened to the internet.
>>
>>109103818
Because it's unnecessary complicated. Most apps lack GUI. basic things that take 2 minutes to do on a windows, takes hours to troubleshoot and get it running on linux. Some things just randomly break. i've had file manager just stop working on mint. Wifi drivers would turn off and on randomly on bazzite.
Linux is just a unorganized mess, Massive waste of time. You will spend hours troubleshooting most basic shit, for it just not to work in the end.

Yeah i’m just gonna play games thanks

hello /v/
>>
>>109104047
Quite a few games were broken by Winblows 11 because they started meddling with critical sections to improve "performance".
All their attempts to improve performance for low level shit are useless and laughable considering that the entire OS is made up of webviews now. So it's better to use Win7 or even Win10.

Easy fix
Kill 95% of distros
Force centralization prevent schism
Fix GNOME (so people who like it don't need to use 10 ext.)
Fix KDE (so it won't crash LOL)
Create app image on steroids (something that works like macOS app.. just drag and drop to app folder)
>>
>>109103818
Just Wait™, microsoft will do that for you.
>>
>>109103818
by making it less shit, but that would require acknowledging that it's shit.
the default response to constructive criticism is denial, blaming the user, works for me etc.

>>109103818
it's only as good as the amount of effort you are willing to put into learning and configuring it.

but people already use Linux, it's called Android...

Infiltrate windows and apple, and make their products 20% more shit. They are riding the line of "i dont want to have to learn a new os....". We MVST push them over the edge.

>How do we make people use Linux?
By selling PCs with Linux preinstalled, that's it. If you can install an OS, you are in the minority. Some people like ChromeOS, but they would never be able to install it.

There is a large number of normies, interested in Linux, but they would never dare to try it. They need to be able to buy normal products like the Steam Deck/Machine and not some niche barely advertised product, that has Linux is an alternative option. Or fully retard proof: Create a **1-Click** Installer.exe for windows, it will completely install $YourFavDistro with a setup wizard and all you have to do is reboot. Trust me, most people can't even get an USB Stick ready and go into the BIOS. It needs to be a fully automated install.

from a curated app store like every OS that isn't shitdows. Even the macfaggots can do it.

>Force centralization prevent schism
the centralizing forces are essentially turning the linux ecosystem into an unholy amalgamation of windows and macos
>Fix KDE (so it won't crash LOL)
barely anyone even admits it's an issue

it's a freak circus. it's hopeless.

Force Windows users to install Linux by gunpoint, everything else has been tried so it's time to use the final solution.

Linux smug days are over.
