Upgrade from Windows — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software
upgradefromwindows.com

Right now their page https://upgradefromwindows.com just redirects to https://www.fsf.org/windows which has a wall of text and an infographic. Even I, who doesn’t have windows and will never reinstall it unless forced, clicked away from the page within 5 seconds. The FSF desperately needs help with marketing and design, plus it would be great to have tooling for brain-dead linux installation (no, find distribution, backup, put linux on a USB-stick, reboot, hit some button to get into the BIOS, select “USB stick”, reboot, click through installation, find alternative software, is not brain-dead).

    Honestly, I have the greatest hope in Valve for getting users away from Windows. The best way to get more users to adopt Linux is to have it preinstalled on their device. 2nd best option is to manage to brainwash semi-techsavvy users to swap over, and I’m hopeful SteamOS could do that once it’s properly released.

    From there it’s hopefully going to get some more momentum to grow
