I'm somewhat better than the average Joe but I'm also lazy as hell.

When I handed down my laptop to my cousin, I didn't install a flavor of Linux. I reseted it back to basic ass windows and called it a day. I'm not interested in tech support either.

When my brother in law bought a gaming PC, I didn't push him to leave Win 11. That guy just wants to watch YouTube and play CoD.

Linux is cool and all. But let's face it - people only change to something if they're in pain. Otherwise they stick to the default.

Microsoft is making sure everyone who uses Windows will be.
