  1. There are numerous reasons "why" Windows is popular for desktops, but the most dominant reason is simple: new computers come with it. There is a few niche manufactures that offer Linux. and of course System76, but this is generally true, and will ensure that they always stay on top. Linux users simply expect to reinstall their OS when purchasing a new machine, and everyone else expects Windows and isn't using Linux anyways, regardless of how terrible it is.

  2. You will never regret your choice. I jumped to Linux during the Windows 7 era, and am affirmed in my decision with every new Windows "feature" that gets added. The initial growing pains and feeling foreign goes away, and eventually Windows will feel like the foreign system; you will wonder how you ever used something so clunky and unintuitive. Windows feels intuitive to Windows users only because it is the baseline that most first become familiar with, not because it actually is. I don't believe I have ever heard the story "long-term Linux user switching to Windows and loving it!"

  3. As long as people continue to support it, even if only out of ignorance or lack of technical know-how to switch, there is little incentive for Microsoft to ever change their ways, if anything it only enforces these terrible practices. No one other than Microsoft have ever accused Microsoft of being an ethical company.

  4. This was also during the era when Ubuntu was making huge strides in making Linux easily accessible, with simple GUI-installer, Unity desktop, live ISOs, etc, which are now pretty standard for every distro. I don't personally care for the modern Ubuntu, but they did make some advancements in making Linux more accessible to Windows and bringing the name "Linux" into the public consciousness. Prior to that, normies had never even heard of Linux.
