After being a lifelong Windows user, I switched to Pop!_OS for around a year before going back to Windows 10 a few months ago.
I went back to Windows, just because a few things weren’t as plug and play as I’d hoped but started to get really annoyed with how intrusive Windows was.
After using Mint for about a month now, I don’t think I’ll go back to Windows. It just does what I want.
Adobe apps are the only thing holding out for me to potentially go full Linux. I’m not holding my breath for proper usable support for a professional capacity
our computer shop just started a $35 out the door 120gb ssd special with arch linux on gnome preinstalled that sells like hotcakes most of the machines coming in are windows 8 or older hardware so perfect match
most are happy without microsoft and libreoffice so far has been enough with aur repositories filling in what else is needed
windows could never compete with the hardware requirements
OSX makes no sense to me these days. I can have a similar interface in Linux with Gnome+Dash-to-Dock, plus I get access to most PC games via Proton and it provides ALL of the development tools that I need. I'd add that, at least in my experience, most Ryzen-based laptops run Linux with absolutely no issues...
There is a decent used market for Macs, and the software is usually the pull. There’s no headache of installing or configuring options on Mac, either. Is there a Linux distro that installs from USB nd works with no config or a few theme options?
And are very likely under reporting Linux uses as a lot of web browsers just report they are windows especially privacy focused ones. I know mine does and I am just using Firefox.
Our corporation (170k employees) switched to google workspace and demands that everyone who can, should work with a chrome book. It’s wild. It’s still a minority, but we actually have a significant percentage working exclusively on chromebooks now (still single digit thought afaik).
