What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

For programmers, WSL with Ubuntu is a good starting point for those who are scared of Linux.
That is definitely not a good starting point. WSL is much more complicated and prone to breakage than running a distro directly. It litteraly changes the whole system to make Windows run on top of a hypervisor. A better way to try out GNU/Linux is to boot up a live environment on a USB stick or use a VM. Plus, WSL is only command line, and I would think that showing a friendly desktop environment is the best way to blow the assumption of GNU/Linux being hard/only for nerds.
