Why is Linux desktop not popular among non-programmers?

[Ralf Mardorf]

PS:

Let's take an RFID USB card reader, i.e. for ID cards, health insurance
cards, bus tickets, etc., where a generic USB driver is of no use. The
bus companies, the federal government etc. had bought these things en
masse and for a while they were available free of charge on request,
including a Linux driver and all the necessary Linux software, which did
not work under Linux.

I don't know if you can use the old card readers under Linux today, I
should try it out.

I might also take a look at other sources.
