I think these are really not viable options for most people. Social networks? How to persuade people to join the better alternatives when all their relatives and friends use the popular ones? Devices? Most people do not want or need a desktop or a laptop these days. Smartphones are much more convenient and easier to use. Alternative phone operating systems work well on very few of these devices and the installation procedure is rather harrowing. Might completely brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing, who wants to take that risk? Those that do need a proper computer probably prefer compatibility with everyone else, and that means they will not run Linux. Search engines? People would rather trust and use Google or whatever because DuckDuckGo looks and sounds like it's made for five-year-old kids. Startpage.com is spewing stuff about goverment spying and hacking on the front page.
