Is Linux for everyone? Is Linux destined to be the Great Replacement? Will Linux ever reach billions on billions of installs in the world? Not likely. If Linux isn't for everyone, then who is it for?

A) Linux is for people who want a computer but can't afford to buy one. Believe it or not, in the home user market, there are a lot of people in the lower income scale who cannot rush out and buy a new PC. You can forget a Mac entirely.

These people finally do get a computer in their house by getting a donated one, someone hands one down ( like my cousin bought a new one, and gave the old one to me...kind of thing ).

B) Linux is for Hobbyists and techs.
