Linux hit 4% desktop OS marketshare not too long ago. But it's still far away from competing with Windows or macOS. Question is - how do you make Linux more ...

    It’s not like pirating Windows is hard or expensive.

        I don’t know. Your justification seems a bit weak. It’s not like piracy is not a thing there.

            India is not the most financially constrained country in the world by far. If the explanation was just that, we would see a very direct correlation with the rest of the countries that are similarly constrained.

            Now, if instead of making rethoric questions you could maybe offer some arguments you would definitely be more helpful.

                Same thing can be said of Pakistan and they don’t have a significantly high Linux usage.

                    What on earth are you taking about?? I’m telling you that “no money = Linux” is a bad argument and you come back with a drug fueled conspiracy theory.

                    I’m not even giving an argument, I’m telling you you have no argument. You’re the one that should be explaining your theory.

                    Dude, chill a bit. Take some fresh air and stay away from sharp objects.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
