No we are NOT responsible for other peoples' life/choices. Period. This is no longer the 90s, every year there are articles "20?? is the year of the linux"! Linux has actually been around for longer than w95/NT and it is 10-15 years now that user friendly distributions are available. More or less, a laptop with a linux installation will work until it is thrown away. However, installing an operation system (be it win or linux or OSX) is not sth that everyone can do neither that can be expected of everyone. So, in my opinion: 1) Linux usage/adoption can not increase unless there are ways to be preinstalled on laptops/supported in a similar way as windows/osx are. 2) The importance of freedom is a personal matter which we can not impose on people.
