    Ah yeah I was only messing really. There is no reason for 90% of people to switch to Linux if they’re happy with Windows or MacOs and I say this as someone who’s solely been using Linux for nearly 20 years now.

    Sure, it’s a great operating system but honestly most people just don’t…give a shit.

      On a technical level that’s correct. But if you don’t care about all the ads, data harvesting and not being in control of the device you own, you may want go home and rethink your life.

      Give it a year or so. I may give more of a shit when Win10 hits EOL because I really don’t want 11.

      Thankfully, I didn’t have to switch.

      I’d like to see the market share of Windows today if no PCs were sold with OS. Or at least if it was a separate opt-in purchase. I am pretty sure quite a few people would rather not pay the Windows license.
      There would also likely be some more interesting OSs, and most likely even Windows would be better due to the competition.
