    I can easily believe these types of continued enshittification will help drive more users to Linux desktop usage. But that will still be a small percent.

    People have to know and care about the problem and then be willing to put in the effort to understand what to do. That combination is pretty limiting.

    I’d love to be proven wrong, though.

      I think it might. Demographics are changing to make PC users more technical overall. The casual user isn’t looking to purchase a desktop PC. Casual is now synonymous with mobile.

      It used to be that you needed a desktop to do your taxes or make an insurance claim over the Internet. That’s just not true anymore.
