It's going to be one of those things where someone is either going to switch to Linux or they're not. Most people will take convenience over privacy.
Honestly, Windows isn't even that much more convenient. It's just what people are used to.
Now that I'm used to Linux Windows makes me pull my hair out.
Exactly
Even just creating a functioning bootable usb stick with windows is a pain. Why are those stupid windows iso so damn picky?
Funny. For me switching to Linux was actually a convenience and aesthetics over privacy ngl.
Since when does microsoft windows have good privacy?
