    Windows 10 support ends and many are suggesting that instead of people moving to Windows 11, many will just move over to Linux

      Doubt.

      Yes, many internet nerds will finally switch to linux. Most normies will just throw millions of computers into the trash and buy win11 approved machines.

        yeah i just watched a girl in our class group chat trying to run a windows installer on a mac

        things like these remind me why linux won’t become popular

          well if people stick to the proper linux way of doing things (official software repos) then that’s actually closer to what they are used to doing (apple app store) than just randomly downloading installers off the internet

          linux should be a relatively easy switch for most people.

            I will have to disaggree on that, i can see your point but that is only if they had someone to manage thier system until they get the hang of it, otherwise they will jump back to what they were comfortable using.

            Be it mac, windows or a phone
