There might be a very simple explanation for why the masses have yet to adopt Linux as their desktop operating system and it's one the open-source community won't like.

I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

    I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)

      Baby Duck syndrome is real, and probably the reason I’m using Lubuntu; it superficially resembles the OSs I grew up using (Win9x/OS9/WinXP.) Windows, MacOS, Gnome, and Mate on the other hand relentlessly change their interfaces.
