@26:07 he says as a business he's considering Linux on his computers because of Windows privacy violations. It's great to hear someone with such a wide audience talking about using Linux.

Lol, sheeeh, the ratio!! I’m a (sadly) Windows-focused sysadmin in higher education and I agree with this, Linux is amazing for servers but normal business users can’t do shit with it : (

This was definitely true ten years ago! I'm sure you'll catch up to the modern linux experience soon though.

2025 will definitely be the year of the Linux desktop :)

The year of the linux desktop was when AMD open sourced their drivers around 5 years ago and Valve partnered with codeweavers to drop Proton. Its only been uphill from there.

Being locked-in on Microsoft Office is a thing and not the fault of linux
