And in a million years, people will still do everything possible except install Linux. Ubuntu is 20 years old and it was already a decent alternative to Windows back then. People are idiots and we shouldn't be sorry for them.

I always find it funny how people act as if there is literally no reason in existence to keep using windows.

It literally just shows us your ignorance and insulation from the real world.

Please tell me because I have been using Windows at home and at work for more than 30 years and I still believe that most people only need Firefox and LibreOffice.

Well for starters, if I were to install linux I'd have no manufacturer's software to control motherboard, keyboard, mouse, and GPU. None of those exist for linux, and the open source alternatives would take decades to have only a fraction of the features already present in the manufacturer's offering.

Then how do I interact with my apple devices? I want to sideload apps. Windows can do it with sideloadly + itunes. On the linux scene the opensource software is abandoned for almost 4-5 years. It doesn't work because I also already tried it.

Then I want to play games. On windows I don't have to fiddle with proton versions and recompiling the whatever the shit to play the new doom.
