There was clearly an increased popularity of Linux when Windows Vista and Windows 8 came out.
IDK if Windows 11 is bad enough to make much difference. People were really pissed about Vista and 8 which helped Linux some.
That’s a pretty decent amount of time ago. I switched a bit earlier, when XP was still going strong. In 2005 when Ubuntu Breezy Badger came out. Goddam it was a good distro for the time, and it became my main OS. For years it was like free gifts when a new Ubuntu came out. In the early Ubuntu days, Ubuntu was way ahead of all the rest, and the forum was amazing.

Vista was what pushed me to Linux originally, and I still haven’t gone back!

I really miss Ubuntu from around that era, was by far the easiest thing to get up and running!
