Why would you send 240 million PCs to the landfill when you can install Linux on all of them?

Sadly most users don't know Linux even exists, or don't know how to install it or don't even think about trying to. Many people legit don't even know they can change what OS came with the computer. They think its "part of the computer" like an iPhone or iPad. They just accept their fate and buy a new PC. Or ignore the warnings and keep using windows 10 until the hardware itself fails.

Sadly, you are spittin' facts! I just wish people were more into understanding stuff they are using. Like... I know people don't choose what interests them, but imagine how cool it would be if everyone looked into Linux and shit and at least knew it existed and that they can put it on their old computers.

We need Linux computers in store shelves. If someone buys a Linux pc they will just use it and most people won't even think about it. Look at chromebooks. People buy them and use them and probably don't even know what chromeOS is. They just learned how to use that specific computer. It goes to Facebook and YouTube and that is all they need it to do.
