I don’t get why people prefer to go to an unsafe version of windows instead of trying Linux. Nowadays there is many friendly distro.
Lack of education and training really.
I only knew of Linux because I saw some dude use Linux in 2012. And then a few years later, I finally decided to try it out as it was easier for work. After a lot of false starts, I finally started switching around 2021.
Going to imagine most people are the same - get experience from it and then have a reason to use it daily.
They feel more at home with it. And they shouldn't be told how to use anything. Windows NT, were it cleared from all the mess, would be a very fine OS.
Or maybe something like AmigaOS or Haiku.
It's a demand that Linux doesn't fulfill, some sort of rebirth of Amiga could.
