I think that if Linux improves and the economy/companies go the way they’re going right now, FOSS has an opportunity to grow and bring more users, if not to Linux, to the decentralized and libre software communities. But i hope it goes hand to hand, as Linux would require better hardware support as its demand increases. Btw, I also think that accessibility would improve, which is good for everyone.
Aside from Linux, the people will, at some point, understand that a free product will worsen over time, and it’s better to invest some money or time into the services/apps they like so they don’t get enshittified. As FOSS communities grow and alternatives improve (like Godot, Blender and Mastodon), it’ll attract the curiosity of the people.
