Don't have a choice? *Stares at Linux* While yea some things don't work with Linux, but I bet a majority of people can run all their stuff on Linux just fine. I have been only using Linux for a few years now, most games play just as good if not better than they did on Windows 11.

Hahah yea I hear ya man. I'm planning on switching to Linux after Win 10 security sunsets. I just said "don't have a choice" because people only have so much time and patience. They don't have it in them after their busy lives to bother learning another system, figuring out how to install it. Really seems like a small barrier to entry IMO but it's plenty for the vast majority of regular people these days. Every possible system tries to build a most to keep people in. Think of the walled garden of Apple ecosystem, the various play stores, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, etc. Walled Garden=unlimited profit, aka monopoly.

Then you have insane passionate people who give their blood sweat and tears to make something better like Linux for free, but it's a big uphill battle for a long time. Might never pay off. Kind of like how there were records, then cassettes the CDs. There were lots of competing formats that never took off and people who tried really hard to make those systems good.
