Also for wide adoption of Linux, If Linus who literally built and fixed computers to pay the bills and learned enough doing that to go on to build the media company he currently has can't get the Linux things done he's attempted, that's a pretty clear sign post that Linux is not ready for wide adoption in its current state.
Linus is better equipped to install Linux than im guessing 90% of people on the planet
Linus may not be the all knowing tech god that a lot of people like to make him out to be, but I’d definitely say he’s the average “tech-savvy” guy, but isn’t someone who could properly administrate a homelab, let alone infrastructure for a lot of people.
The Linux challenge was extremely accurate to what would happen if the average windows users tried to use Linux with no outside help. In fact, it’s very similar to my experiences with Linux, where I can accomplish simple tasks, but once I need power user features they’re much harder to find, documentation is patchy at best and you’ve got to hope they didn’t change anything in a recent version of the OS, cause some commands just change arbitrarily (looking at you Docker-compose on Ubuntu 20+)
Everybody knows Wendell is the real tech God.
Wendell is the only one I trust to teach me server related stuff. As far as I know, there’s never been any major problems with him
