Eh, bullshit. By year 2000-2002 you could install Mandrake and SuSE with ease. And Windows and VC++ were expensive as fuck. In comparison, Mandrake was 30 EUR (~$35), which was a bargain. Also, later you could get the 4DVD Debian release for 20 EUR.

As of 2021, the year of the linux desktop still ain't here. PC users still choose windows over linux now, and this is after god know how many enhancements.

In the 2000s, getting linux to work with wifi was a mess of command line commands and other PITAs that no normal users would put up with.

In year 2000 and until 2003-2005 no one cared about wireless.
