Why do you want people to use Linux? Its a OS with a completely different philosophy, most people don't care about FOSS.

Because more market share means more fucks to give from companies that make stuff we use.
-
But it also means more people will try to introduce malware and exploits.
Not saying that hardware makers giving a single fuck about linux would be a bad thing, but rather than a sudden huge increase in desktop linux usage doesn't sound as good to me as if it happens with time.

Security through minority is not a best practice. More support would also lead to hardened security even if it becomes a more lucrative target.

That's why I said it a sudden huge increase in its usage doesn't sound as good to me as if it happens with time.

Linux is running on the majority of servers worldwide. Even Android, the most popular mobile OS worldwide, is based on a linux kernel. The attack vector is already there, there are billions of devices running linux out there, so it's not that you are using some obscure operating system.

Linux is very secure by default though. This has multiple reasons. For example that it's used on a lot of important servers and this carries over to desktops.
