Think of it this way. 83% of computers (laptop and desktop) use Windows. 13% use Mac. The vast majority of software is developed for windows, with another significant fraction developed for or adapted to mac, because thatās what most people use and itās all most people understand.
Now imaging youāre one of the 1.4% of computers are running Linux. This doesnāt mean youāve got a windows machine with a virus, it doesnāt mean your computer is broken, it doesnāt mean it needs to get replaced with a more common operating system. Itās not quite as good at some things most people take for granted, but itās significantly better at a bunch of other things. But if you have a problem with your computer, the vast majority of people wonāt have any idea what youāre talking about. Theyāll give advice for how to deal with a similar issue on their own computer, and it will be worthless. The only people with any idea what youāre going through are going to be on linux forums. And you can mostly muddle through all the things everybody else can do with improvisation and lots of WINE, but it sure would be nice if the devs of that video game you were looking forward to would like, acknowledge the existence of your demographic.
Now imagine that on top of all that, the primary linux support system had been taken over by a bunch of assholes whoāve never so much as looked at a command prompt in their lives. but who have declared themselves the Voice of Linux Users and keep spending millions of dollars on campaignsĀ āeducatingā everybody about how using linux makes you a fundamentally bad and stupid person so your laptop needs to be burned immediately to force you to get a correctĀ computer.
