    Baby steps. Considering that Linux isn’t installed by default on PCs you buy from BestBuy/Walmart, 3% is a good number.

        Unfortunately, No employee will ever recommend a Linux laptop/PC to a newcomer.

        While Linux laptops (Purism/Pop!_OS) are already out there in the market for a few years, people who buy them are already inside the Linux ecosystem.

      Unless they came with Wine, and the apps the avg joe just work with wine, I don’t think it’d be a good thing. Hell, could you stop the employees at the store from telling people to just install windows after buying the laptop or the avg joe just doing that?
