I think the general lack of awareness that there even is an
alternative to windows (or mac) is the main problem. People just dont
know about linux.

True. This is the big problem. So many times when I try to talk to people about Linux, or even open source generally. I get the reply 'Never heard of it'. And this is often from eg business people who should know better. By which I mean they should be taking the trouble to look around to see if they could be doing things better.

Just my opinion,
