    People buy things they see advertised. Being visible on the floor of BestBuy is advertisement. If it’s just an option on a website, they’re unlikely to try it, but if they see it as a “normal thing” that’s available at retailers, they might consider it.

    At least that’s the assumption I’m going off of.

      The lack of advertising is a big one, that’s for sure. And Dell isn’t spending any of their advertisement budget to brag about Linux.

      Maybe that’s what canonical should spend it’s money on rather than snaps :-) (half joking…maybe )
