It’s a little puzzling to me that Linux isn’t popular in low-income countries. Why wouldn’t it be the OS of choice there? Do we need to become linux missionaries? I imagine it would be easier to convince people who can’t buy an iPhone to use FLOSS than those who can drive to an Apple Store and waddle over to get yet another one.

Because poor people don’t want to spend time maintaining their os. Windows is maintenance free but everything in Linux requires a lot more steps that usually dive into the command line.

Windows maintenance free? Are you kidding?

What kind of maintenance do you do on windows?

You don’t do maintenance, you have to reinstall everytime something goes wrong after spending hours reading bullshit answers to a simple question on Microsoft forums. At least that’s my experience with it.
