I cannot see a single reason why Windows still being used within business: 1. Endless security issues 2. Companies have to spend millions of dollars to make it secure, and fail 3. Everything is SaaS nowadays, you just need a browser and fast internet 4. Linux distros can easily replace Windows, no licensing, no dramas, no subscriptions My guesses is that companies still have Windows because of the support, they can burn money monthly for some other company to provide support when things go bad. You do not need that for Linux distros, it just works, faster, no matter the hardware age, it just works. If you are end user, you have even less excuses to use Windows period. Everything from gaming to banking, from coding to 3D editing, work just fine on Linux.

There are plenty of popular games that don't work on Linux, a notable example being Fortnite. One of the most popular games of all time.

  >There are plenty of popular games that don't work on Linux Games that require kernel level spyware installed??? Good luck getting a Linux user to do make such stupid choice. Giving you a company kernel level aka full access to your operating system just to play a game. Yeah mate, normal people won't do that. Fortnite?? Couldn't give half care about this game.

    You don't need to like Fortnite. There are plenty of other games in the same boat. The point is that "normal people won't do that" is objectively false. Fortnite is just a good example because it's so popular. At any given moment there are tens or hundreds of thousands of normal people playing Fortnite, on windows, with anti cheat on.

Clueless people in the correct position for whom only Windows is THE secure OS.
