You have to be truly an idiot these days to still be using Windows.

Or you’re at work, or you need to collaborate with people who use Windows-only software. Or you bought a computer and it came with Windows, and you don’t know about installing other operating systems.

And as long as that group of people you just described continues to uncritically accept everything MS does, they have no motivation to do things differently.

I hate that argument so much. It’s like picturing me incapable of choosing a car because I know nothing about them.

“Why did you buy that garbage?” “It was the first vehicle at the first car dealer I found.”

If you go to different car dealers you find many different cars so you have to look into their pros and cons before choosing one. If you go to different computer shops you find Windows computers, Macs and Chromebooks. Macs are very expensive and Chromebooks are very limited, so you buy a Windows machine. People don’t even know what Linux is, and you can’t really blame them. They just want a machine to do everyday stuff with, and not to have to invest too much time or money in finding one.

In this analogy, no car dealer sells a Linux car and you’d have to rip out the engine yourself at home if you wanted one.

That’s the perceived barrier to entry.

Good luck changing OS on every user’s laptop in a Fortune500 organization to Linux and then managing policies for them.
