... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? ๐Ÿ˜ 

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

I want Linux to succeed, and be the competition to Windows, so I deal with these "downsides" honestly, the limits in my theory, cause me to only purchase good hardware and software.

Is the mainstream even what should be targeted? I'm reading comments on how people are actually getting worse at using computers.

To answer your question, I think Linux absolutely should target the mainstream, as it already does in some ways.

For example, by making Linux more accessible to the average user, the community grows, which will probably lead to more support, more software development, and so on.

It is true that not all users have the same level of computer skills. Especially for that reason Linux should become even easier and even more intuitive to use.

In short: the more people use it, the more support it will get.
