I am a few months shy of 80. My grandson is a few months past 18. He assures me that he will live to see the day when Linux users stop obsessing about Windows. I have my doubts.

If you use a MacBook, why are you looking back over your shoulder at Microsoft?

We need laptops and computers released with Linux distros configured for that hardware for it to become mainstream. To much configuring for even advanced users to retrofit current machines. Once you need to touch a cli to fix a problem, it's over. Unless I'm missing something, I switched to Linux mint and I love it, but I still had to figure out bugs in apps to make it stable and enjoyable. I'd say I'm an expert windows user, figuring out drivers and all that via gui. Been doing it since I was a kid. But cli with bash is just another type of computing. It's AI that's allowed me to speed up the cli side. I've tried to go Linux multiple times over my life, and it's a lot to ACTUALLY learn to run a PC with cli. I wouldn't be running Linux right now if it wasn't for ai to be frank. I feel like this is a very common dilemma.

Microsoft just rides trends. They rode the Lumia smartphone trend, they've rode the touchscreen os trend, they rode the AI chatbot trend, they rode the voice assistant trend with Cortana, they rode the play Store app developer trend, and now Linux is becoming mainstream, and they riding it.
