Why isn't linux that mainstream to the public

  ElectionGuard is a set of open source software components that can be used to create and publish end to end verifiable elections as well create a publishable artifact for ballot comparison audits.

  

There's also the much bigger question of what Windows and most Linux distributions are trying to accomplish. Windows is a commercial product that people purchase to meet some need/function, while Linux distros tend to be community-driven software efforts. For many Linux users just the fact the Windows is closed source means they won't use it, since they don't trust software that's not available/auditable by the public. Even Microsoft has open sourced its ElectionGuard voting software, since it's really the only way to prove to the public that the voting software does what they say it's supposed to do. At the moment people aren't demanding that same level of scrutiny of closed source OSs and desktop software, but my feeling is they probably should since personal and financial data is being used on that type of software.
