I think so, the reason why Linux isn't as successful even though it's free is because it is complex. With Windows, you just buy a windows. WIth apple you just buy a Mac. with Nintendo, you just buy a Nintendo. With Linux, you gotta know how to hack your computer and you got to pick a distro. (i'm exaggerating a little on the hacking part, but that's how people see it.)
Or maybe we could get a centralised open sourced os that does not have anything to do with Linux, since that's being took over by Microsoft and other investors in the Linux foundation anyways that have been known to use Macs themselves. Just for the sake of simplicity and competition that actual works for people.
