In the Czech Republic in 1999, the largest tech e-shop at that time, Mironet, started offering PCs without an OS and PCs with Linux preinstalled. One of Microsoft's top managers for the country fabricated a false accusation, leading to a police raid. They seized all the computers and effectively shut down the company's operations for several years. During this period, new stores like Alza and Czech Computer completely dominated the market. Mironet never fully recovered and is still in court today, suing the state for hundreds of millions. At that time, Microsoft behaved almost like a mafia.

TCP sends data in order, but it does not guarantee that packets will arrive in order at the recipient. However, the TCP header has a sequence number field that allows the recipient to reorder the packets correctly. The correct order of packets cannot be guaranteed over the internet because it is possible for packets to take different routes to the recipient, even if they are sent from the same source.

The reliability of the TCP protocol primarily comes from the acknowledgment (ACK) response for each packet. When a packet is received, the recipient sends an ACK back to the sender, confirming successful receipt. If the sender does not receive an ACK within a certain time, it will retransmit the packet. This mechanism ensures that all packets are delivered reliably, but it is not specifically about guaranteeing that packets arrive in order, as TCP handles reordering at the recipient side.

About not setting your mom up to use Linux... I set my grandmother up with Debian to replace her old Mac and she never had a problem. She was in her nineties. She was blown away how I could get her a system that cost 300 bucks that ran better than her old iMac

About the mom anecdote.
I think as for all tools, it's about being adapted to the user and their needs.
My mom was complaining about her computer becoming very slow and about multiple warnings about security (W7 in 2024).
She is not computer literate and is easily confused when interfaces change.
I sat down with her and we made a list of everything she does on her computer, we even went through most of them. My assessment was that almost all her needs were handled by a web browser. Being able to explain that to her, to show her the icon she is using was very important.
Then, I gave her an option like only GNU+Linux can offer. We'll set a Live USB for her and she can test and confirm that everything works without installing anything. I even had her take notes on how to access the documents on her HDD.
After a week of her using the new OS, she too felt good.
Next step, I bought her a 3.5" SSD and an external usb3 SATA enclosure. Swapped the disks and installed Lubuntu on the SSD. I showed her how to access the old HDD, explained that if at any time for any reason she wanted to revert to W7, she could just swap the HDD and restart. I sat with her while she copied her files from the W7 install to the new file system.
That long text just to say that given the use case GNU+Linux can be a solution that won't be hard to give to an older person. The only thing she had to learn was to accept updates when prompted and type the password to install them.

Simple: it doesn’t come preinstalled in computers
Usually, it’s Windows

People get sorted into 3 categories in my world of "providing support to people I know".
1. Chromebook - Everything you do needs to be done in a web browser
2. Linux - You need local storage or want to play/use some more powerful local applications
3. Windows - There is some app you depend on to make your living.

The truth is most folks I know I try to get on Chromebooks.

My wife has been on Kubuntu since Feisty Fawn. Every time KDE makes changes I have to go in and customize things to her liking again. With that said, her KDE setup is very much now as it was in 2007. The best way for me to get into a knife fight at home would be to try to move her from Kubuntu.

Great Grandma runs Windows. She is the one person I am willing to have a hole drilled in my head for to keep their windows rig working....for email and to print a recipe.

I don't even use Linux daily myself, but I just prepared a "new" computer for my parents and installed Linux Mint with a windows 10 theme. Wish me luck. I don't plan to tell them and just hope they never notice 😂

Learning nowadays is also free and “better” than being an absolute dummy, so what’s stopping people from doing that? It’s hard, that’s why.

linux is good for tech people and for absolute non tech people.
all in the middle, which most are, it's complicatied.
i installed linux on my parents laptops, who are the total non tech people and never heard of any problem since. before, i got weekly calls with pc problems, because the printer in windows stopped working, an update changed something and so on and so on. none of that happens in linux.

I’ve used Linux as fulltime for over a decade, arch fer years - void fer years, now pop os fer years… and I absolutely love it for developing web stuff, building clis, and experimenting with different dev tools and programming languages ... But if I want to print, connect a Bluetooth speaker, or even just get normal audio working out of a headphone jack, I still expect to loose several days pulling my hair out and then i expect the solution to work for no more than 6 months … I love Linux, but I completely understand why more peoples don’t use it.

I installed ubuntu on my grandparents computer after literal years of fixing their computer because my grandfather visited the worst websites. They'd get so many viruses at one point I had to reformat their computer 4 times in a month. So the last time that happened, I installed ubuntu because it started getting pretty good and could almost work out of the box with no issue. They only browsed the internet, and used outlook, and played solitaire. So I spent maybe 4 hours setting their system up, setting up their email, putting card games they'd play on it, and making everything as easy for them as possible, with the goal of never needing to fix their computer again. Needless to say, it worked like a charm. They hated it, and from then on never asked me to fix their computer again. Would do it again to buy the 10 years of peace.

Now, hear me out. I set my grandfather up with a linux machine. (Manjaro btw.) And you know what? He is doing great. You just have to choose an minimal effort distribution (Arch btw.), and let it just roll. It works. He browses the web, paints in gimp. The thing, is that an operating nowadays is just reduced to a glorified browser starter. So setting up "normal" people with linux isn't as bad. The bad part is to get the people of the heroin (windows, osx, etc).

Hey, I'm a dev and have been using linux for more than a decade (dual booting with windows cause of games and some music software). But I feel if you have to ask this, then you haven't used Linux or have a little common sense. Linux is not more widespread because a) it's not standard (many different flavours, folder structures, rationale, desktop environments, etc), b) it doesn't often come preinstalled, c) even on something as plug-and-play as Ubuntu, sometimes you still have to tweak things manually, editing config files as superuser, typing obscure commands in a terminal and piping it through grep and whatnot, which would be stressful and difficult for a non-technical user, d) shit hardware often has trouble in Linux, even if you have a driver, e) some proprietary professional hardware (in any field) just won't work because of no driver support, f) many proprietary software have no Linux versions and no equally comfortable alternative, g) Linux tends to have more hiccups than Windows after updates... we all know it, we've all lived it, and we continue to live it. And those are just off the top of my head. And I'm a Linux nerd, I just try not to be a hypocrite or act all surprised at why granmas everywhere aren't using Linux on their own.

IMO it's a bit like asking why don't more people build their own car, or why isn't Rachmaninov more widely listened to. Well, Linux was never designed to be for everyone, and it still isn't. It's for technical nerds like us. Some may try to make "user friendly" distros, but the moment something goes off the rails, you still gotta fix it the Linux way, if you know what I mean
