That’s nonsense, as if Windows needed any help being dominant in its heyday

Most people don’t really use windowns because they like it but because of the third parties applications that only run on windows, so yea you can point the finger at third parties.

Most techies, maybe. MAYBE. Linux has not been anywhere near user friendly enough over the past 2 decades to be remotely usable by normal people. Not a chance.

This hasn’t been true for at last a decade. Go ahead and install linux and windows and let us know which one is easier to get and install.

I main Linux. I’ve been using it for over 2 decades. I’m speaking from personal experience when I say that if you think Linux was mainstream ready prior to the last few years, you have no idea what the average pc user is incapable of.

If only a giant corporation like steam made their own Linux based OS and poured huge resources into an open source compatibility layer(maybe even call It proton) that would move more people to Linux and even create more incentive for third party developers to have Linux versions of their applications because of the growing market sjare of end users using linux that would be exciting… 👀👀👀

Had valve not made its own linux based OS they would had to release this machine with windows preinstalled. Microsoft is valve competitor.
