People who use windows are already locked in their lockers

And for most people that's OK. As I'm OK with buying eggs rather than making them myself in my garden with my own chickens, even if it would be better and I would have more control over it...

most linux distros are easier to install and use then windows (think Ubuntu or Mint, as long as you don't rely on stuff like ms office or photoshop, which don't work that well)

That's the problem. I must use MS exclusive apps. Not even wine can save me 😭

Sad to hear! If you're truly willing to move to Linux, you could run either in a VM on the other OS, and use Linux for personal stuff, leaving Windows for MS-only apps

I use debian on my second PC so I guess it evens out 😂

I thought about your comment. My conclusion: a Linux laptop doesn't need as much space as a normal sized chicken. It's cleaner too.

Can't argue with that.
