    We got our 2 kids laptops for Christmas that are now running Linux, and steam, so I’m doing my part. They previously didn’t have their own computers, so this should count.

      I’m happy with the current state actually. Too much people using Linux and it’s going to become a target for ads and tracking. Currently we are flying under the radar, and it’s amazing. We are in the sweet spot of having enough quality software without the downsides.

        How do you think ads and tracking would be different if Linux gained a bigger share in the Desktop market? Not saying you are wrong, just genuinely curious.
