这不是用户的错,也不是我们的。光烧 Arch Linux 镜像就能劝退一半人,接着配置镜像,安装环境,找源(诶我操 mirrors[.]rit[.]edu 上面还有一句 We have many many gigglebits of bandwidth. In theory, you or the network inbetween is the limit. 但我想移动联通电信不会对你这样的慷慨,看看 DMIT 卖的什么价格,线路还是尿道)。好了你现在已经突破了 75% 用户无法逾越的障碍,接着你需要桌面,包管理器(次次手动大约不是君子的喜好),找一些非原教旨主义(也就是老格家正牛头旗)的开源软件(OSS 但并非对象存储服务)或者搞点 linuxqq 之类别扭的软件。恭喜你你成功了,现在开始忍受折腾 Linux 吧。
Arch 有时也不是你唯一的选择,当然可以背靠着某不知名软呢帽用 Fedora、或者顶着林迪效应玩 Debian 或者 Ubuntu,也可以相信开发者对于开箱即用的执念用 Linux Mint。
如果你在看完这一段极长的而且括号密布的 Linux 积极主义文选还没被劝退,你干什么都会坚持到底的,包括修复各种 Rolling Release 导致的 Bug,当然成功率不在我的考虑范围以内。

Question: How to persuade everyone to use Linux?
This is neither the users’ fault, nor ours. It is only when burning an Arch Linux image that one gets worn out — and that alone filters out the majority. Now you will have to welcome the following: configure the mirrors, install environments and find packages and software sources (Damn there is even a “We have many many gigglebits of bandwidth. In theory, you or the network inbetween is the limit”[sic] on the main page of mirrors.rit.edu. However, I don’t think Mobile, Unicom and Telecom would offer such kindness to the users, while you may want to check how the prices of DMIT are high and how telecommunications lines perform just like urinary tracts). Now that you have surpassed what 75% of users are held back by, You are in need of a desktop, a package manager (or several, installing software manually every time is not a thing that a decent gentleman would do) and some non-fundamentalist software, which is often not recognized as free and open-source software by GNU, or you might find something unnatural like linuxqq. Congratulations, my friend, on your fabulous success! Please bear the tortures that Linux brings to you!
Arch is sometimes not the only selection. You are certainly allowed to use Fedora with your back against a mysterious hat, or with the assistance of the Lindy Effect, go for Debian or Ubuntu, or Linux Mint, simply believing in the developers’ obsession with out-of-the-box.
If you could stand this long long Linux incurably optimistic essay with its countless brackets as well, you will keep going to the end no matter what you do, including fixing numerous bugs caused by rolling releases. Remember I don’t care about if it will make its way in the end.
