    In my opinion this the unique milestone linux has to achive to be declared as a total winner vs windows, in the near future I would like to see non tech industries using linux instead of microsoft spyware.

      There’s a chance it will happen outside the USA.

      Deciding to send to the landfill every PC sold after 2018 is a decision that they saw analyzing only numbers from big American corporations. “Anyway they lease the computers and have a refresh every 3-5 years”

      But the rest of the world?

      Here in Italy I still see people on Windows 7

      When I traveled in southeast Asia I saw people using windows XP

      Or Brazil, where the import taxes make a windows 11 compatible PC ultra expensive

      Regular people and small businesses , especially outside the USA won’t simply buy a new PC just because Microsoft and Intel needed the line to go up.

      If we could get just one of the big tech suites to support it, I think that would help to finally break the dam and get some serious migration.
