The barrier to Linux becoming mainstream is its ease of use.
Installation has overcome this by being as easy to intall as Windows
(with some distributions)
The remaining obtacale is installing new apps. In Windows, you
download to your desktop, double click on the icon, and follow the
instructions. When it becomes as easy to install a new application
on Linux, it will become mainsteam. Just as the PC and Windows did.
