Btw: Linux use on the desktop seems to be on a steep rise. StatsCounter claims 4.5% market share now. And I see lots of people complaining about what Microsoft does lately. Like the advertisements in the menu, fake news. And wanting to take screenshots every few seconds. People seem to start questioning things.

And I mean it's correct that this is a desktop computer thing. If you own a smartphone, tablet, internet wifi router, embedded (smarthome) device, modern car, chances are you're already use Linux and don't even know. And you'll likely be talking to Linux servers and network infrastructure all day if you're using the internet. And I guess quite a few people are using internet services in 2024...
