I am a Linux Beginner who wants to make Linux the norm. I have been using Ubuntu Gnome for half a year and have come somewhat acquainted with Linux and the terminal by using a book available online.

I have a vision. I want to make Linux the norm and make it applicable to Gaming, Video Editing and Adobe related features for the normies.

How can I go about doing this? How can I dedicate the next 10 years of my life to making Linux compatible for gaming etc. for the mass populace?

I want you to know I am being quite serious, I will dedicate my life to doing this. I am not a gamer myself but I feel this shift in compatibility will bring Linux to the future.

By convincing developers to release Linux ports or develop natively on Linux. People have been trying since the 90s with various degrees of success. Good luck.

Linux is, and always has been, the future. Just ask Microsoft.

not as a daily desktop driver, let alone among normies. the only way in hell they're going to use linux is having some autist as a friend who make them a surfstation with ubuntu because they don't care.

I am with you OP.

You can make good videogames if you are a programmer, there are plenty of open source games you can help https://libregamewiki.org/Main_Page

Imagine if you have a company, you can sell those games to if you create an original story and artwork. Yes you read it just right, you can sell it. Put some money on marketing and you are on the right track.

Another way is offering services for technical support for those willing to switch the platform. I am not joking when I say people makes money with this. RedHat and Canonical are the biggest examples.

Godspeed.

Normies don't use Windows either. You need to free yourself of this delusion. "WE" are the "autist as a friend who make them a surfstation with ubuntu". The OS-Wars on /g/ have warped your perceptions. Gaymers, Freetards, Macfags, we're all a dying breed.

Dude, Linux is not for beginners. Once you are pro with Linux, you can try Linux.

The best thing you can do is to help build and improve tools like video editing software.

The second-best thing you can do is to install Steam on Linux and buy/play tons of games. This provides money and Linux usage statistics to encourage other people to improve Linux software.

>release Linux ports or develop natively on Linux
See, the issue with this is even open source applications are a fucking pain in the dick to get working on all the different distributions unless they're fucking trivial. Even Windows is pretty fucking annoying with all the different C++ runtimes and other bullshit for all the different applications, but it's popular enough that companies are willing to dump resources into making sure 99% of Windows users are going to be able to run that program. There's no fucking way companies are going to bother to make their shit work with all the different distros of Linux. Linux keeps getting more fragmented too, systemd-specific shit is making more and more applications break on distributions that don't use it, so distros are writing hackjob workarounds and compatibility layers to get it working again. No company on earth is going to bother with that kind of bullshit when Windows exists.

Why do retards like this come to /g/ so often?
>How can I dedicate the next 10 years of my life to making Linux compatible for gaming etc. for the mass populace?
This stupid assertion of "I'll devote the next ten years of my life to this thing I'm only just beginning" is extremely naive and shows you're underage and don't know what you're talking about
