Why Linux Will Never Become Mainstream?
Contents

Linux has never been more popular. The only reason why Linux isn’t mainstream is because there still aren’t many off-the-shelf desktops or laptops you can buy with Linux pre-installed. Most people can’t be bothered to install an OS and usually just stick with the one that comes with the computer they buy.

The main reason why Linux is not popular on the desktop is that it doesn’t have “the one” OS for the desktop as does Microsoft with its Windows and Apple with its macOS. If Linux had only one operating system, then the scenario would be totally different today. … Linux kernel has some 27.8 million lines of code.

Is Linux Losing Popularity?

Linux has not lost popularity. Due to the proprietary interests and crony corporatism practiced by the big companies that produce consumer desktops and laptops. you will get a copy of Windows or Mac OS pre-installed when you buy a computer.
