The fact that they only do this in Europe is the biggest “fuck you” to users they could have done.
Well if you’re tired of Microsoft, you can install any of the many Linux distros completely free
I will when I can install all the programs I need that exist on Mac and Windows.
You can. Just install them through WINE or Valve’s Proton compatibility tool.
For non-tech users I think the problem is momentum, for technical users it’s (IMO) Stockholm Syndrome a good percentage of the time.
Really as a technical user I’m moreso afraid of how much time and how much work it’ll cost me. And I know a lot of distros are 1 click installs. That doesn’t matter to me. It’s more the transferring files and getting things set up and settling in again. I’m already settled in on my windows 10 computer. Everything is where it needs to be. I changed to Firefox earlier this month and just that was mentally painful. I can’t imagine the whole OS.
I’m in university too so this would be a day that I could be doing homework etc
