Year of Linux Desktop is here, if you want to use it. Just choose hardware with it preinstalled.

  The success of macOS and WSL, kind of prove the point that isn't what most people care about.

    It doesn't. The problem is you can't go in a shop and buy a Linux computer. They're just not there. Also, every school teaches students how to use Windows for some reason. This is a completely unfair competition.

        Availability in a store somewhere in the world isn't the same as availability in the common case. And we've now reached the point that PCs come with Windows for the same reason you can't find a non-"smart" TV anymore. It comes preloaded with spyware, which has a market value to the seller, which makes that device cost less than one with only free software on it. Sophisticated buyers then take the discount and wipe what it came with, which contributes to alternatives not being widely available, but unsophisticated buyers don't know how to do that and get stuck with the spyware.
