Windows has five million apps .. no one installs a random app unless it solves a real problem !
Besides what is the point of replicating a terabyte when it is already on say 50 K plus nodes !

Well I guess there is more bitcoiners than there are “fluent” linux users.
For me it was pain in the ass to set up a node on Linux. Thank god for AI.
And I wasn’t able to run an Electrum wallet for Trezor compatibility. All those missing libraries and such really isn’t my cup of coffee or what I want to solve when I have spare time.
My point was I would gladly install a node on a Windows PC and let it run all day, then to “learn Linux” from the scratch.
And I don’t think 50k or 200k computers is not adequate number to be honest.
You have windows subsytem for Linux ( WSL ) .. I think it should give you all the core utils to run anything that Linux does ! I haven't tested it though !
Besides learning / running Linux is easy ! Thanks to AI :-) .. and if you ever wanna host anything in clouds .. windows is 10 x the price of Debian !
