Linux is great and so are most things Open Source. My company uses an Accounting/ERP System called Macola. That doesn't run on Linux. And I am not going to experiment with Wine when it comes to our ERP system. So what ERP system should I switch to that runs on Linux? I guess we could go cloud and use NetSuite. But I hate Oracle more than I hate Microsoft.
Not all software, especially in the office/at work is internet browsing and spreadsheets. It has nothing to do with easy, it's about, sometimes many decades worth, of software development and applications that don't run well on anything but Windows. I gave up trying to make everything work from my Linux box a long time ago and am happier because of it.
And, in the end, at home? I run OpenBSD because the most popular Linux distributions came along and forced me to use something called systemd and I don't care for it any more than I do Microsoft Edge.
And in no way am I arguing that what they are doing with Edge or Windows 11 is in anyway acceptable.
