    I don’t think the Windows 11 people are ever going to be converted short of some catastrophically poor management at Microsoft.

    You’ll still only get a very small subset of people willing to even attempt to switch over to Linux in those events.

    It isn’t even about disliking change or ‘using what you’re used to’ at this point, since Windows is drastically changing all the time (for the worse) but most people just get used to it as the “new normal” and we’re the weird ones for trying to actually take control of the situation, and look for better alternatives.

      To most people the OS is the computer. If Microsoft was extremely mismanaged, they’d probably buy a new Windows 11 computer first. After failing that they’d need someone they know to boot them into Linux with a live-boot USB.

      I think the level of mismanagement required for that to happen is probably unrealistic. It’d need to be on the level that people would switch back to Windows 10 en-mass and Microsoft would definitely notice that.
