Especially not Linux users. This isn’t grandma with windows 95, or Uncle with his iPhone, Linux users are almost guaranteed to have in the past tried other distros.

They will again. Begrudgingly, but they won’t look back either.

The average FOSS enthusiast never was the target market for Red Hat. Big corporations whose purchasing departments like expensive support contracts are the target market. And for those, not much changes, and even if it did, those places don’t just switch to another distro on a whim.

Linux users also often have their personal files on a separate partition, making switching to a new distro incredibly easy.
