    Explain that to someone who tells you: “no, bring back Window to my laptop” … It’s the sadest sentence I hear

    Usually the final blow is when they try to install an .exe file by double clicking it and it doesn’t execute

      I remember when that happened to me way back when.

      These days, almost every computer user I know falls into one of three categories:

      • Already has the proclivities that would lead to active interest in Linux
      • Just uses their computer for web browsing and email and so would barely notice if their system switched to Linux
      • Is a gamer

      If the last, they either play a VERY few games that don’t run on Linux; are convinced, incorrectly, that you can’t game on Linux; or just don’t care.

      edit: There are certainly exceptions, both within and outside of my social circle; however, they’re definitely on the outskirts.
