Switching to the Linux operating system offers convenience and economy. Upgrading to Linux is free, and you can install it on your existing hardware to replace Windows.
You guys actually make conspiracy theorists sound sane. Is Linux even at a 10% market share yet? You really think all the businesses and personal users on Windows are going to en mass switch to an operating system they don’t understand that requires them to constantly configure and adjust things to get stuff working, requires them to get comfortable with using terminal to accomplish stuff when they have only ever used GUI applications their entire lives, AND it doesn’t run half the programs they rely on and are used to, to do what they need?
Well, this was the case maybe 5 years ago, if not 10+ years back. Linux Mint, Ubuntu, PopOS, Fedora, and ElementaryOS can all be run via a GUI. Additionally, you’re comment about programs is baseless. If you switch from Windows to Mac guess what will have to happen, you’ll have to start using similar but not the same programs. However, using a VM or Wine isn’t hard whatsoever thanks to YT walkthroughs. It’s 10 to 20 minutes of guided clicking and then you’re running Windows programs on Linux.
96% of the top 1,000,000 servers online and 100% of super computers run Linux. But people are creatures of habit and when compounded with a statement like this riddled with half truths, it only makes most folks more hesitant to switch. 4.1% of PCs run a common Linux distro, 1.9% run ChromeOS, and 6.4% run an “unknown” OS, which is widely believed to be Linux as well. So 12.4% of PC’s run some form of Linux and with the SteamOS release around the corner, this will breach 15% for sure. But okay, we’re a bunch of loons who like owning the equipment we bought and enjoy the financial + security + privacy perks of open sourced software. If nothing else, I hope you feel better. Take care!
