You sort of missed the point where Linux gives you freedom. Linux is built for users, windows is built for marketing, and it shows. It makes Linux nice for end users and it makes windows nice for the marketing department, sales and the share holders.
Windows SUCKS in it's daily use and even after all these years it's still a Swiss cheese security wise. Yes, people would face issues with Linux too. Of course they will. But it will be a while different class of issues, not caused by a "fuck the user" attitude like Microsoft has it, but issues that will be solved because on Linux people actual care.
Yes, keep rehearsing the old propaganda. Doesn't mean shit to the normie that still uses Windows because they'd rather have support than shitty half or undocumented systems that do shit they're not supposed to at the worst time. For what it's worth, you're completely right. 100%. But reality makes all your right irrelevant. So, rather than fucking around and trying to convert people, maybe just lay off the bullshit and leave them be? Or .. you know, git gud and help out?
I do.
I help people with Linux wherever I can.
I make companies use Linux. My own company uses Linux everywhere, it was built in from the start.
What you're saying is a chicken and egg problem. Companies would love to give support go Linux users but then they need Linux users...
No, companies need frigging assurances. They need timely SLA metered support with seasoned professionals who are certified in their specific areas. The public sector then needs that AND legal coverage as they have a completely different noodle to cook at the end of the day.
And it somehow needs to be a lot cheaper and easier to use for lusers and somehow integrate with everything else.
And all of that can be done with Linux.
One large reason why this is still done so little is Microsoft marketing. Oh I'll admit, Microsoft is kickass at marketing. As bad as their software sucked and keeps sucking, their marketing is awesome and well funded. Linux doesn't have anything that compares but it's own good name.
Microsoft basically lies, cheats, pressures, whatever is needed so that people are locked into their software.
Fuck. Everything. About Microsoft.
