I hope I’m not moving the goalposts too far here, but I do want to stress that if at any point in this process a consumer has to go out of their way to get the Linux experience, it will never compete. Every lowering of the barrier is progress, but there is a critical mass point we clearly haven’t reached yet.
System76 sells OEM Linux computers, but they don’t sell them in Best Buy, to my knowledge.
It’s a start!
