From a financial perspective, a 3% market share is so insignificant that companies might not even be aware of what the hell Linux is
Baby steps. Considering that Linux isn't installed by default on PCs you buy from BestBuy/Walmart, 3% is a good number.
ahh, I just rememered well dell used to have pre-installed Linux laptops but yeah I see your point
Unfortunately, No employee will ever recommend a Linux laptop/PC to a newcomer.
While Linux laptops (Purism/Pop!_OS) are already out there in the market for a few years, people who buy them are already inside the Linux ecosystem.
Unless they came with Wine, and the apps the avg joe just work with wine, I don't think it'd be a good thing. Hell, could you stop the employees at the store from telling people to just install windows after buying the laptop or the avg joe just doing that?
yeah, but if it keeps growing...
