Microsoft seems to have forgotten that nobody cares about the OS. They just want to run a few apps and browse the web without all the crap, recall, ads, forced Microsoft account, and bloatware mess.
Massive exaggeration. Most people don't care about so called "bloat". As for the account, not really... I've been running Windows 11 for months without ever logging into an account. I've also not sern any ads. If you believe Linux is better than Windows for the masses, youd better sell Linux's fearmtures instead of bashing Windows. And that goes out to all Linux propagandists... you're not doing a good job.
Users: we want to be able to customize Windows UI Microsoft: here is another version of unpopular AI that will spy on you even more than the last one instead.
Agree the bloat and spyware isn't a good look, but many of the things prized by linux bros are things normie users do not care about, and that may actively disrupt their experience (e.g. infinite configurability = infinite support scenarios). I'd wager the percentage of Windows users who care about extensive desktop customization vs sensible defaults is the same percentage of people who use Linux at all, about 5%. The Linux distros that are viable for normie Windows/Mac users are ones that specifically reduce the configurability of the desktop environment and render a limited, comprehensible set of options (Ubuntu+Gnome, PopOS, ZorinOS, ElementaryOS, Mint, Fedora + Gnome...). ChromeOS (or ChromiumOS/FydeOS) is already a major Linux winner in the Windows exodus because it leans even more in this direction (and layers on reliable updates/immutability, settings and file backups and restore, and robust support...), while embracing another core truth about consumer GUI-mediated computing today: the desktop is primarily a window to the web. I'm actually working building a ChromeOS-inspired distro/proof-of-concept right now. Linux bros will hate it, but I think it is closer to the right thing for most users.
@@STONE69_ Where'd you get that 1.3% figure? I've seen a range quoted, but never that. The lowest I've seen is ~2.3% (from GlobalStatsCounter ). I'm working up a more in depth writeup on this as there are so many methodological and measurements issues, coupled with confounding variables (e.g. cyclical dynamic of enterprise/education purchases, that make looking at any 3-year period misleading, but particularly this one shaped by the pandemic). I'm not pretending to know what is happening with certainty, but Linux-enthusiast commentators are almost certainly overstating the significance of the Statista/GlobalStatsCounter data they're all harping on. What I can convey briefly and in broad strokes here, hopefully without muddying the water too much/earning the ire of my fellow Linux enthusiasts, is that most of the recent growth in consumer desktop linux is SteamOS, with this growth in "desktop linux" happening over a period in which desktop computer demand slowed generally (including laptops in this definition). Simultaneously, a large number of ChromeOS, MacOS, and Windows (hereafter "incumbent desktops") devices aged out of support, and weren't replaced like-for-like (yet, that is, and this is one place where the enterprise/education purchase cycle story figures in). Linux has likely benefited from a device life-extension influx from desktop incumbents, but is a far second to folks opting post-incumbent to suffice on (and increasingly preferring) phones and tablets as their primary (or only) computing devices. That is, it's mobile eating incumbent desktop market share much more so than Linux, and to the extent that it is Linux, its mostly mobile-ish Linux (i.e. SteamOS). As for ChromeOS, the end-of-life/upgrade-cycle dynamic has impacted its market share in the short term much more so than the other incumbents because of Google's historical supported device life of 3-5yrs (with an unprecedented number expiring at once the past two years), but is likely less of an issue going forward for consumers as post-2021 devices promise 10-years of OS support. All that is to say, I wouldn't bet against ChromeOS, it continues to gain in education and enterprise (more so than Linux even amid its recent slowdown), and is on track to ship 20+ million units this year (amid continued weak consumer demand for desktops/laptops in general) but as a new enterprise cycle kicks-off we could see 50-60 million between 2025-26. ChromeOS grew in an unrealistic/unprecedented way because of emergency education purchases during the pandemic coinciding with an ordinary upgrade cycle, but now it is settling back to its more regular growth pattern which looks disappointing only by comparison with its unprecedented 2022 peak. One big liability is ChromeOS devices do need to deliver considerably better hardware/price-performance to continue to win consumers purchasing for themselves in 2025. Sorry for the essay, obviously half just sorting this out aloud, I expect next year will bring more clarity....
Making the change was easy for me. Can I pirate games? Yes! And with better compatibility for nostalgia games. Made the change in a day, installed Arch Linux on a Nvidia AMD Dual GPU system with ease, installed all I need in a single line of code and booted my game which I thought I would need to reinstall. Nope. Lutris really is carrying the weight when it comes to bringing new people into linux. Oh, and steam epic games etc. work too. Who uses those these days, we are headed towards a future where buying isn't owning, so better set sail early and be ready when your only option is setting sail. Still, a plus for Linux.
Switched from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (only Win10 version that was bareable) to Linux Mint 21.3 at the beginning of 2024. Won't go back. Gaming and working with that system EVERY DAY.
Windows doesn't want your "old" hardware to work. Mac wants hardware to be overpriced. And then there's Linux... I'm successfully daily driving AV-MX Linux for the past 2 months to run Bitwig. I never imagined that a fully featured DAW in Linux would be possible, but here we are. I feel like Rip Van Winkle when I hear about the Steam and Proton compatibility for those who game.
actually to remove the watermark look up registry edit to remove windows 10 or 11 watermark, its one edit and its gone, you cant personalize look but yeah whole os is free, because they spy on you, i used to run debloat tools and o and o shut up ten privacy tool then i realized? should i have to? i mean i paid microsoft to fuck me at this point, ding ding ding, ok linux from now on
Or you just get a RaspberryPi Zero (or some other SBC, or even your file server) and run a little Python utility on it. It simulates a KMS server and convinces the MSWin install that you have a corporate licence.
I literally walked-through my friend yesterday on how to install mint on their pc. They were suprised at how easy it was, and once the first live enviroment booted up, they didnt believe that this is what linux is. They still thought theyd get an arch-like command line, and theyd have to spend a couple hours clicking away on the keyboard...
This is why I say the Arch community needs to be quiet for a minute and realize Arch isn't for everyone, ESPECIALLY beginners. I do the same with Pop!_OS and people are shocked how easy it was, and many ways easier to get up and running than Windows.
@@ChiefGyk3D yup was using Zorin OS17 after migrating from Windows until I tried Mint 22 and it became my daily driver. CatchyOS Arch looks pretty shiny but not for me just yet hahaha.
Windows is easy to use, but do you really want to spend a thousand dollars on a computer every time they say so. That will be now every 4-5 years. plus its using these new apps to get your data to sell it off.
@STONE69_ What do you mean "every time they say so" ? Windows 11 is the first time there has been a strict requirement around CPU generation, but it doesn't stop one from installing it on older hardware. People are doing it. And anything newer than say 7 years old should be fine, typically. Most hardware is upgraded that often anyway. Yeah, if you have some really old stuff sitting around, then yes, Linux would be an option, but only for those users for which Linux is useful. For most people, that won't work. And it's not thousands of "dollars every time". I have never payed thousands of dollars for a PC, and I've never replaced a PC because MS told me to. You've basically presented a strawman. And the thing about selling off your data is a lie being propagated by haters. There is no way corporates would be using Windows if there was personal data being gathered and sold off. That would be totally illegal and woukd jeopardise the corporates in terms of privacy laws. For example, the claim that MS is screen-shotting desktops to gain secret user info is a blatant lie, but the claim is being spread around by Linux fanboys.
Exactly. I tried Red Hat and Ubuntu probably a decade ago and they were beyond my ability at the time. I installed Linux Mint about a month ago and it's been a breeze compared to my experiences with Windows 11. I had to reset Windows 11 many times. I need to work out some better set up than dual booting, but using Mint & Cinnamon is such a better experience for me.
I think Microsoft forgot that they got into the game cause of being "user friendly" windows. If they don't do that anymore. People will not have it anymore! Its just that really its simple logic that people would more away from a non-user friendly environment to a pro-user friendly environment. People want flexibility and breathing room. If you choke people into a corner it just won't sell or even become popular enough to even become popular to people.
Linux since 2017. Never used Windows again. It has become a bloated ad and spyware filled piece of crap. Telemetry should always be opt-in, not opt-out.
The point that made me switch from Windows to Linux is the stability, the speed and the fact that after starting the PC, it just works. With Windows, it is never guaranteed to be able to work directly. I am the manager of a small business and I changed my habits to work with Ubuntu every day on PCs. 6 months of testing and full transition in September 2023. I save precious time because it just works. I also use Linux to play my games. Apart from COD or BF2042, 100% of the other games I play work with Steam or Lutris (some better than on Windows).
Linux Mint is my daily driver now. However I do have a dual boot with Win10 just so I can use my Adobe Products (I have CS4, so I OWN it) But Linux alternatives are getting better all the time!
I'm using CS5 via a KVM/Qemu/Virt-Manager under Mint. I installed Win10 in it, and Photoshop CS5 works great and very fast too. No need to dual boot back on Windows. I have even set it to share a folder between the host and the guest systems, so I can exchange files between the two systems.

5% is something but it's a very very loooong way to any significant number. Windows is still the king. A lot of hardware still doesn't work with Linux or it is very difficult to set up, and especially cheap hardware that hurts the most. And by the way, you say it's a good thing you need to know the inside details to set it up: do you know in detail how your TV works? Can you fix it if it has a problem? What about your washing machine? And how about having to fix your fridge while your food spoils every single second that it doesn't work. So yes, IT HAS TO WORK OUT OF THE BOX. and that's the majority of us that have a job and no time to dedicate to one single device.
Most people using a Steam Deck don't realize they are using Linux. Most people using an Android don't realize they are using Linux. Linux works in a lot of things out of the box from DVRs, streaming boxes, and more. More vendors are shipping it as an option as well. Dell, Lenovo, and HP all do.

Windows may be dominant... for now. But more and more are getting tired of Microsoft and it's becoming easier than ever to switch. As I said there are tons of people buying a Steam deck and enjoying gaming on that as an example.
My son, who is a Linux fan, is installing Linux right now. He started yesterday morning. Now more than 24 hours later, he is still at it. The first 3 attempts failed. He is trying to sell me on it, but it's not working. I've been installing Windows onto hardware since 1996 (and even building the hardware), and its never taken more than an hour. I installed Windows 10 on my wife's PC last year. Took 30 mins from inserting the installation USB to actually using it. Other than installing a few applications, including Chrome, I've not had to touch it. This is how Linux as a desktop option needs to be. There is a reason why Linux us at 4% after 30 years and Windows 12 is at 22% after 3 years. Usibility and usefulness. Linux does not excel at either.
@@toby9999not sure why your son is taking more than 24 hours and having issues. Unless he is trying something like Arch or Gentoo. I’ve deployed thousands of Linux servers and desktops and rarely takes more than 30 minutes not counting scripts to push customizations based on client needs.
Anyone that says stuff like "microsoft messed up" or "UI/UX on windows is terrible" and can't admit it literally is all on the Steam Deck's doing is wrong I'm sorry.
linux sucks worst in path tracing peformance than windows 11...i hope they fix that problem what microsoft use for amd users to gain more fps than linux uses on their mesa drivers that seems not give any extra fps and glitching as f when playing cyberpunk with its visuals glitches .......i see nvidia users don't have that ssues and they will thank modders to get dlss3 fg working on linux finally by native drivers support and simple mod to translate it to NVIDIA ml language on its drivers to get extra bells and whistle out of rtx40 series that same as using in windows drivers

There is a reason why Linux us at 4% after 30 years and Windows 12 is at 22% after 3 years. Usibility and usefulness. Linux does not excel at either.
@@toby9999not sure why your son is taking more than 24 hours and having issues. Unless he is trying something like Arch or Gentoo. I’ve deployed thousands of Linux servers and desktops and rarely takes more than 30 minutes not counting scripts to push customizations based on client needs.
@@toby9999 Took me like five minutes to install Mint and I don't even know what I'm doing. He's probably doing something complicated or weird
Anyone that says stuff like "microsoft messed up" or "UI/UX on windows is terrible" and can't admit it literally is all on the Steam Deck's doing is wrong I'm sorry.
RE: Mac not very awesome at virtualization (circa 2015?). How did you not even mention Parallels?
Not even close to good enough, it’s a type 2 hypervisor. Hyper-V on Windows and KVM/QEMU on Linux are both Type 1.
linux sucks worst in path tracing peformance than windows 11...i hope they fix that problem what microsoft use for amd users to gain more fps than linux uses on their mesa drivers that seems not give any extra fps and glitching as f when playing cyberpunk with its visuals glitches .......i see nvidia users don't have that ssues and they will thank modders to get dlss3 fg working on linux finally by native drivers support and simple mod to translate it to NVIDIA ml language on its drivers to get extra bells and whistle out of rtx40 series that same as using in windows drivers
Lack of knowledge!! and skill and ability to problem solve, you get a C- = failed at Linux!! I and others are doing just fine.
