    I feel like they should cross. For a long time Linux really was “worse” than Windows in the sense that you needed some computer knowledge and deal with incompatibilities with the OS that most people were using; both have gotten better in recent years and Windows has gotten worse, so for some use cases i’d say we could be at the point that the lines cross.

    Written from my Mint laptop, absolutely perfect but i’ve only used it for internet and office so nothing fancy

      Yup. For me it similar. I was getting frustrated with the lack of customization in Win11, while at the same time seeing that Linux is actually viable for me with the Steam Deck.

      I’ve been running Linux for a year now and while it was good enough for me to switch back then, it’s incredible how much better it has gotten since then.

        And it’s that good at 4% market share. Imagine the possibilities if 20% of desktops were Linux, with that much dev time being put into it.

        I say “if” but maybe it’s “when”
