Baby steps. Considering that Linux isn't installed by default on PCs you buy from BestBuy/Walmart, 3% is a good number.

Unless they came with Wine, and the apps the avg joe just work with wine, I don't think it'd be a good thing. Hell, could you stop the employees at the store from telling people to just install windows after buying the laptop or the avg joe just doing that?

Unfortunately, No employee will ever recommend a Linux laptop/PC to a newcomer.

While Linux laptops (Purism/Pop!_OS) are already out there in the market for a few years, people who buy them are already inside the Linux ecosystem.
