People don't want windows either, they just use it because it came preinstalled.

Yes there are people who will never install any alternative OS for themselves but there are plenty of people who would if they knew about other viable options.

I'm willing to bet most Linux users used to be windows users at some point. So its not futile to evangelise.

Also pick a noob distribution/flavour such as pop_os and the installation is no different than installing windows. Download your browser, steam and office tools and just use it.
