I would love to see more Linux desktop users, but people (mostly kids or gamers) who watch PewDiePie will not dump Windows because they want those AAA game titles and apps from Adobe and others unavailable on #Linux. Apps are the problem. I’ve been using Linux since the early days, and it is ready for many use cases, especially when privacy is your major concern. Otherwise, you should have the willpower to accept and learn alternative apps.
