I am old, I have used windows for around 20 years. I am also a geek. I tried Mac OS a long time ago - not geeky enough and the hardware was too expensive for me back then.
Tried Linux several times. It was fun, but I had too many issues, up until now.
In my opinion if you plot user friendliness over time for Linux and windows, the Linux is going up on the friendliness axis, slowly but steadily. Windows on the other hand… Goes somewhere. Every good idea MS devs have is countered by 3 terrible (for users) from the marketing department.
I want to be the owner of my own PC. I want to control everything, windows was good enough a few years ago, but it is not anymore, the cloud integration plus AI bulshit, plus bloatware.
No, thanks.

I’m not saying Kirp123 shouldn’t switch now, just saying that unlike Microsoft with Win11, there is no pressure to switch to Linux, people can do it when they feel ready.

Not really, Linux is constantly getting better. I tried switching a few years ago and failed miserably. I switched again recently and it feels much better now.
Since there are no CEOs and investors controlling everything, I am convinced the improvement trend will continue.
When you consider how many students were shoot with 3d printed guns… Oh wait, those were all manufactured by a proper business, carry on then, we don’t want to interrupt big businesses.
