What alternative plan are you implementing?

  Just run a boring Ubuntu or Fedora installation like a normie? Marketing an Arch based "distro" as beginner friendly is just buffoonery.

    But that's not going to "make Linux fucking happen". Not that Linux is going to ever happen anyways. (talking Desktop)

  There are so many modern Linux distributions available, that’s such a weird thing to say

    None of the existing ones really made Linux on Desktop "happen", so their numerous and lengthy existence is kind of a counterpoint. The existing ones didn't work, other approaches may need to be tried — at least I commend that some enthusiasts continue trying.

      Really depends your expectations. Linus on desktop is already successful from my point of view. There is no Linux company that needs to care about marketshare. Nowadays installing Linux and getting a working desktop environment with all the bells and whistles is pretty much a solved problem. It has even become a pretty good gaming platform. I would even say, better than macOS in that regards. There are still a lots of enthusiasts working on improving things, in fact using a Linux distribution has never been as popular as it is now, and we have way more resources to learn to get started. We are very far from the experience from 2010 (that was actually already quite good, but not mainstream ready)
