       Sharing these two posts by Drew DeVault... (find the 2nd link on the toot below) He nailed it. Elitism and being totally out of touch with the needs of non-techie users are the main obstacle for mainstream Linux adoption.https://drewdevault.com/2021/12/05/What-desktop-Linux-needs.html

       @arivigo Those posts are filled with fallacies. First off, what non-technical user would be able to install MS Windows on a system which doesn't have it already? Second, expecting games written and complied for MS Windows to work perfectly on Linux is absurd. Especially considering MS doesn't have any real standards, so Wine has to replicate not only all the crap MS has slapped together, but the bugs and quirks too. You wouldn't expect a Xbox game to play in a PlayStation.I could go on.
