The biggest barrier to Linux is people who don't know that Windows and Android fucking suck. I can't wait for PostmarketOS to take off so I can tell Google to suck it. Actually, that reminds me to make a donation.

First, proper NVIDIA drivers and improved hardware support in general
Linux needs nothing to succeed. It just needs to wait and be there while the big corporations continue to fuck up their systems all on their own.
The recent surge in Linux use from the Windows 10 deprecation and Windows 11 being annoying proves that.
More and more Vendors like Valve will pop up with a growing user base.
Linux needs an apple-like manufacturer (but in a good sense): good, marketable products with good support.
If we're always relying for big current OEMs to offer linux option, they're gonna hide it and never offer 1:1 support compared to windows.
I'm for some reason hoping for valve+some oem working together to offer a valid option to the current choices.
I feel with chatgpt it's getting close to near self troubleshooting levels. But I feel once the end of life thing starts then more folks will convert.
