      Yeah, I think the biggest obstacle to wider adoption of Linux is the lack of availability of devices that come with it installed. As long as you can’t buy a Linux PC at Best Buy & co, it will always be somewhat niche. Pretty much anyone can use Linux these days but installing it is just too much of a hassle for the average user.

        Yeah, the days of end users installing their own OS is in the past, PCs are appliances for most people now.

    • Yes, except I needed to modify some kernel parameters to fix display artifacts a few months ago due to an upstream bug. Wasn’t a big deal for me but the user who uses the system, even the concept of editing some parameters is beyond their comprehension.
