The fact that so much of the world uses Microsoft windows makes me lose faith in humanity a bit tbh
Like the UX isn't even better than Linux honestly, I can at least understand using Mac
Discussion
the UX is worse
product designers think they know anything or have usability theories, but all they have is status quo bias
Yeah certain Linux distros have fantastic UX
Online PVP gaming and HDR support
Most people around the world can't afford Apple products
Plenty of Linux distros look like macOS
QubesOS only - please don't use CSS blur or transparency for better website scrolling experience
The fact that since Windows 11 has been released three years ago, only 30% of people have upgraded from Windows 10... brings back a little faith in humanity.
It’s just what people are used to at this point, in the past Linux wasn’t very user friendly. People didn’t know how to even get it onto their machine
Most election voter id systems (ie digital voter rolls) are Windows based
Most of the world does not even know what an operating system is and their user experience is just Google chrome.
Totally. Our CTO at the company I work at is such a Microsoft fan boy. Everything is Windows and Azure and Teams/SharePoint. I run Linux primarily at home and have been quietly protesting with WSL on my work PC lol.
Because gaming on Linux is crap. I wish we all just used Linux. PopOS is as good as Mac (though I haven’t used it in more than a year)
To be fair, Windows doesn't require regular interactions with a text terminal to do basics. "Follow these instructions to add a repository so that..." yeah no.
