For the average consumer, this would help Apple and Google out more than anything. People want what they know.
On the more savvy user side and for gamers, this move would, potentially, help Linux adoption rates.

Exactly, which is why this will probably work, do you really think the average consumer that’s used to Windows is going to switch to Mac when they can just pay 5$/month instead? Lol
As long as the price isn’t ridiculous like 50$/month or some shit, the average consumer is just going to pay it lolol
Yeah the only people whose minds this will change are agnostic techies
Aha-a-haha-hahahaHa!!! Oh lord, that’s so dumb.
I have been using computers since before there was an internet. I have used DOS and now Windows 10. Is there a good place to learn about Linux with a GUI and which one I should purchase? I’m so tired of M$.
Edit: I am primarily a PC gamer that uses Steam and this is what has kept me from using another OS in the past.
As others have said, Mint or Pop_OS are your best options. It really depends on what you want in terms of layout. Do you want a more apple mac osx look or a Windows look, if you want Mac then pop, if you want Windows then mint. They’re both based on the same OS, Ubuntu, and in Mint’s case there’s a Debian edition. None of these have a price, they’re free, you have nothing to lose trying them out.

Realize this is a hot take, but, honestly I’d suggest Fedora, as it just always seemed more stable than Pop OS. Mint had core security issues some years back when I last look at it, not sure they’ve been resolved?
I use the KDE version of Fedora. I installed Steam and Bottles, and I haven’t had a problem since.
All AMD set up though, I can’t speak towards the Nvidia side of things.
Only version of fedora anyone should be using for games is Nobara. The simple fact is fedora may be rock solid, but it’s definitely not as intuitive for a new user to add things like the copr repo for additional software etc.

The COPR is the only other thing you have to do, at least that’s all I did.
Click a checkbox to allow third party (COPR), install Steam, and install Bottles, all from the store UI. You’re making it sound more difficult than it is.
And the problem with Nobara is it’s created/developed by just one person who’s doing it for his dad (per comments I’ve seen made by the developer) (I don’t know if that’s still the case). I rely on my OS, so I’m not willing to put myself into that situation of depending on just one person doing it as a hobby.
The thing I like about Fedora is it’s (ultimately) backed by IBM, and it has more support for more hardware, fixes, etc.
I hope so the Linux adoption can grow up
