I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    I think an overlooked potential userbase for linux is older people who are still on windows XP. I have a few family members on manjaro mate (I know there are better distros, but it’s what I use personally) which is overall more familiar to them than newer windows versions would be. Get it set up with regular BTRFS snapshots and a grub hook, and you can talk them through rolling something back easily.
