While that's true but some DE nowadays make it easier for general consumer to install/using Linux as their main os, I think some people even scared of Linux and didn't wanna touch it and that's a shame

In either case, you still need to install a new OS, which is already a technical hurdle in itself, and know enough command line to fix things when they break/update packages, or to access things that might not have a UI.

Yeah, maybe someday Windows become so bad that people will do anything to get rid of it, I confess that I'm still using Windows 10 to play most of my games but I will ditch Windows once it reached EOL (I use Open SUSE for web browsing and documents editing and it's been great so far)
