    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.
