What it takes is people being able to buy a Linux machine at the local electronics store. Installing your OS yourself is still a major hurdle for most people.

Problem is Youtube is known to censor these kind of campaigns. I think they literally got caught delisting Tiny11 tutorials recently. Imagine what they‘ll do if Linux Tutorials pick up steam. Big tech is one giant illegal syndicate and politicians have invested in all of them.

And soon there would be a corpo that will make a closed source commercial OS based on Linux and people will somehow use their crap.

It might. I just don't see any use in it. Says a former Linux advocate. Don't get me wrong, I'm writing this on a Debian stable machine, I'd never even think of using anything else for a daily driver and have been doing so for 25 years, but Windows users will be Windows users and I don't see any reason to adapt Linux to their needs. Or to that bundle of vague illusions that they *believe* to be what they need. The evolution of Windows has produced such a horrible, parasitic product that its' users don't see any other way now than to jump ship. They're mostly lost cases, IMO.
