Linux desktop has basically become the Be-so-good they-can't-ignore-you man

It helps that Microsoft has been alienating their customers and set high bars for OS upgrades.

This is definitely a major reason. Windows 11 forces TPM 2, random hardware requirements that make no sense, and is objectively a downgrade from windows 10 (like every other windows version always is). Since Windows 10 is two years out from EoL and all major Linux distros have gotten so much better... might as well upgrade while you can still go back to 10 should you need to, before you have to be on Linux or throw out a bunch of otherwise fine computers.

Can confirm. Would probably be maining windows if the workspaces actually… functioned…

Linux gets better and and Windows gets worse.

Meanwhile Macs still cost a God damn fortune and you still can't repair them.
