    There are different clusters of users who don’t/can’t leave Windows.

    • Don’t want to learn another OS at all (They are content with the Windows experience)
    • Gamepass users. They enjoy the Netflix model of getting free games
    • Multiplayer (with anti-cheat) gamers
    • Don’t want to leave the Adobe suite/
    • Uses programs which don’t have Linux equivalent

    The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.

      I am talking for handhelds which are treated as consoles so the underlying os or gui makes no difference. Unless it stops you from playing the game you like.

      No one should tell you to leave an os if it works for you.

        I agree.

        Some people have a special comfort with Windows AND telemetry, ads, bloat are not a concern for them. We should not try to force them to move.

          The only thing it will do is turn off potential users because they either feel attacked for using a perfectly useable os or they do want want to be associated with the onmine culture around the os.
