I personally think the key issues still holding Linux back are

Not installed on PCs on standard brick-and-mortar shops
Microsoft's tight grip on enterprises and businesses
Non availability of industry standard applications
Availability of choice, which creates choice paralysis for the user

I don't agree that there are no problems on Windows. There are different types of problems but users are so accustomed to them, they will go through more hoops to solve them, when it's trivial on Linux. We have to introduce Linux much early to users to create familiarity.

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Don't you think it's wild that a hard drive, which is just chilling inside its case, suddenly has its innards spilled out using a screwdriver, and dumped into a 24/7 NAS with other hard disks.
