    Linux isn’t ready for the mass Market yet. I say that as someone that has been a Windows free household for like over 8 years and who actively attempts to convert as many of my friends as I can.

    It is not and probably never will be general market ready. Too fragmented and too many options. Which is why I love it so I wouldn’t want it to change either.

      there are loads of options, but if you ask almost any linux person what distro you should start with, the answer is mint

        I’m not sure what universe you live in lol. Yes lots of people like mint but plenty hate it. I don’t hate it but it wouldn’t be/hasn’t been my recommendation when converting people

          @LordKitsuna @pupbiru Same here. I wouldn’t recommend Mint mostly because I don’t have experience with it, but also, I haven’t heard anything about it that makes me think it’d be a slam-dunk recommendation even if I had used it.
