In a word: Proton.
In one word: browser
Right… when people realized that a Chromebook can meet most people’s needs because 98%+ of what they do can be done through a browser, then Linux becomes a more viable option.
BUT… while most people don’t use their computers for gaming, the ones who do would be more likely to want to try Linux with Proton. The recent surges will get even more people familiar with how good Linux is, and they will be able to evangelize to the less adventurous.
browser? I ardly know er!

Two other options? What, FreeBSD and OpenBSD?
Nah, Haiku and Plan9. They just haven’t seen the attention they once did.
But watch out, RedoxOS is getting better every day. :)
Lots of large scale government projects in various countries are also ditching Windows for a more secure end-user experience. We’re also in 2024 where most applications that people use are available in browser.

I have been using Linux for some time now and the only place where I encounter problems is the office suit. Like Libre office basically meets all my needs, but when I share the docs to other people, somehow Ms office fucks it up. I don’t know how to fix it.
