In science, a paradigm is a model or pattern — a typical instance or exemplar. But in rhetoric, my chosen field, it is an example or guide as to how one should behave.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

maybe a few proprietary apps?
I also dunno why linux users don’t promote more, most people don’t use it simply because they don’t know of it, in my opinion, not because it’s too complicated or other reasons people bring up
the steam deck release might mainstream linux use more later next year maybe
I think you can add proprietary apps to most GNU/linux distros, but I use it because I can’t(with linux-libre). If making GNU/Linux mainstream means making it Windows or MAC, what is the point? GNU/linux serves a need that I can’t get on Windows or Mac - that is freedom.
