I guess the question is this: Can we help non-nerds be Linux users? As a
"user's group" shouldn't we help generate new users? Historically
speaking, I don't think there has ever been more user friendly linux
distros and better interoperability and usability.
Linux, as a technical thing, is on very solid ground. Most of the cloud
runs on Linux. A whole lot of embedded stuff is running on Linux.
Certainly Linux for human users, on physical computers, owned by their
users, is another matter. And I agree that Linux is pretty easy to use
these days.
But I suspect Linux's greatest foe as a user OS isn't MS Windows nor Mac
OS, but the fact that people aren't buying personal computers so much
anymore. Haven't the little pocket computers we call "cell phones"
shoved PCs aside for many?

P.S. I'm about to shut down and attempt to replace the fingerprint
reader on my Framework 13. (I dropped the computer, it landed on that
corner.) The fingerprint is also the only "power" switch, and I don't
know how bad the damage is in there, so who knows how long it will take
me to ever power it up again. Wish me luck!
