Some other tech website did an article recently about how to unfuck windows as much as possible. Like four pages of tricks, registry edits, third party tools.
People in the comments were like “you know, Linux is free and is getting very user friendly.”
People were mad. People really want to stick to windows.
No idea why. I’m running basic pop!_os and have no real complaints.
Switching to Linux requires a certain level of technical skill and patience that the majority of people don’t have.
It’s the same as the build-your-own-PC people. That’s their hobby, so they don’t count the years of experience, research, and knowledge that they’ve built up.
See also: recipe writers who don’t include prep time in their time estimates.

It does. However, it was a technical news website so I assumed the audience had a higher than average technical affinity. This seems to have been a bad assumption
That said, installing Linux is easier than people imagine. Most of the time you download the image and follow some short instructions.
Admittedly, the minority of the time you might have to troubleshoot.
There’s also an argument that if you’ve the technical know-how to dink around the Windows registry and make all kinds of tweaks, you’ve the know-how to install Linux, or at least, the ability to figure out how to manage it.
It’s just old people stuck to their old ways, kinda like gas car users. EVs are faster quicker and more powerful, less noisy and no combustion stink(especially when parking in ur home garage) as a bonus!

I mean, I’m pretty mad. Linux has been user friendly since Ubuntu
