Are you saying Windows is inferior to Linux on the desktop?

  In terms of not crashing, fewer security issues, no telemetry, or having to pay money for it, sure. Point is it's an alternative that could potentially serve the needs of some users better than Windows does, but will likely never be considered by them just because it's almost unknown to the general public. I'm sure better examples exist.

    That's great and all, but people don't really care - they want to run the applications that they want to use. They want it to support their hardware. OSX and Windows work because the make it easy for end users to use them; and run the applications/games they want to play.

      Sure, but the point is that it's possible for a market to be dominated by a brand- or, in our original discussion, by a way of thinking or governing- that might be inferior to a lesser known choice. There are a good number of hackers who would consider Linux superior to the dominant OS's, which is why I made that arbitrary comparison.
