I find it depressing that (despite this post) there really are only two viable operating systems for 99% of the user base that needs ease of use and commercial software. Same in mobile devices. And there is absolutely nothing indicating a change to the status quo.

To be fair though, this is mostly a setup problem. There are a lot of people who only need a personal computer to use a browser. I've switched my father & stepfather over to Linux mint, and the amount of tech support is actually lower than when one was on Mac and one was on windows. I think the big issue is that Linux isn't pre-installed. That, and there are programs that won't work (my mother is still on win10 due to MS Office).

Remember, most people aren't software devs, and have very different concerns. And increasingly there are more and more people who don't even own a proper computer, since a smartphone will suffice for their needs.
