If the way to make Linux popular is to make it nothing like Linux, then most current Linux users will just move to BSD, as the joke goes.
I run Linux because it is the easiest way to run a mostly #FreeSoftware OS, I use Arch because it gives me a feeling of true control over my computing experience, I run DWM because I love how barebones it is, and it only does what I want it to do.
If the only way to make more people use Linux is to make it Windows, than please don't.
I am a big advocate for #FreeSoftware as really the ONLY way for consumer protection in terms of the software we use.
I would never tell someone to not use Adobe for work on their work computer. My workplace needs me to use Windows and many proprietary software on my day job.
That is a very different think than your personal computer at home. And I think many who use Adobe stuff for hobbies could probably switch to freedom-respecting software and still do everything they want to.
I think the sole purpose of the FSF is to remind us every single time when an infraction on our software freedoms occur.
What do people expect from them? To go around and tell people how they can marginally improve their computing freedoms if they give up a few conveniences? They aren't the "Computing Compromises Advocacy Group" after all.
In our lives we need to go for compromises, but there must be some entity, that keeps up the torch for extreme purity.
