 poses contrary to what users want to do with their machines\, and governme
 nts insist upon pushing age-verification requirements into software and ha
 rdware\, interest in Linux as an alternative (or the foundation of an alte
 rnative) continues to grow. However\, Linux still holds a reputation as a 
 technical and scary operating system for nerds. It needs a better "elevato
 r pitch\," a short\, accurate\, and interest-piquing description. Let's bu
 ild one together!
