Windows will continue as always. The "normies" as you call them don't give a shit about this. They want things they use on a day-to-day basis to work with no interference from them, they really don't care how.
I'm considering moving one of my retired friends to Mint after cleaning 43 threats from her Windows PC. All she does is browse the web and word process. I can set her up with Firefox and uBlock Origin on a Mint install and she likely will never need to worry about malware.
Yeah most could probably make the switch with no hassle. But their laptop shipped with windows, and it's still working for them, so why would they bother to make that switch? Unless someone forces it on them, they're not going anywhere.
Maybe, but the screenshot stuff will limit the professional use of win 11 I hope, which would make adoption easier
In many cases there simply isn't an alternative to windows. I work in industrial automation, and the software and tools we need only run on windows and there is no change to that in sight. We unfortunately just have to cope with this. What I think is, that enterprise OS versions will be able to disable this stuff entirely because it's a major issue WRT things like customer sensitive solutions.
Okay, in my field of work (it sys admin) you mostly need a Browser. So Linux is higher performance.
I tried Linux as a daily driver for a couple months last year. I distro hopped quite a bit in that time and ended up settling on Manjaro. It was a pretty good experience over all, the only reason I switched back is because I couldn't get mods to work with Guild Wars 2 without crashes, but every other game I played worked fine and I don't really play GW2 anymore. So when support for 10 drops next year, I'll probably go back to Manjaro.
You realize Bill Gates plays a similar role with Microsoft as a consultant as Bezos does with Amazon? These guys are no longer at the helm. And Who is advertising Linux? There isn't a ton of money to be made with that type of advertising.
who is advertising Linux
Enterprise, Lenovo, Canonical group, Dell, IBM/Red Hat
