Yes they absolutely can. Nowadays it's as simple as clicking "install" from inside windows to try a linux distro

  "from inside Windows" That's a problem right there.

    This is why Linux doesn't exist on more PCs - this is a problem. Imagine a plumber talking about how much better his toilet is than everyone else's - bc everyone believes only a plumber can install it (which was truth for most of Linux history and general PC users). Nobody took it seriously bc they took it as mostly an odd humblebrag for niche Windows haters.

      Reminds me of https://www.terrylove.com/crtoilet.htm https://www.terrylove.com/crtoilet.htm and the UltraMax

        Haha, yes - exactly like that! "My favorite toilet is the Ultramax by TOTO." , "Its model number is "xxx-xx-etc" - that man definitely believes in Ultramax!

    Not when Windows is actively pushing people away. New computers are a tiny market, people stay with their old computers for decades now.

      I mean it should be easy WITHOUT Windows.

    What can possibly be wrong with giving people a different option to try Linux? If it’s not right for you, who cares because you have other options? The constant negativity is so boring.

      Not sure what you're referring to, but I mean it should be easy to try Linux WITHOUT Windows.
