Often times, when dealing with Linux incompatibility with hardware and software, there are workarounds, but I’ve frequently found that the underlying issue is the low percentage of people using Linux over other alternatives. What are some long-term oriented causes I can support, either financially, politically, or with my time, that show real promise of growing the prevelance of Linux desktop users?
Not a concrete answer, but for me and several others in this distro hopping lemmy thread, a gateway drug into adopting linux was running a VM on a traditional OS. Perhaps identify groups which promote VM trials would be one approach.
Another gateway seems to be use of linux recovery disks where users boot into linux to recover data on a broken installation.
There may or may not be opportunities to expand reach of those providing these solutions.
