CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@codemonkeymike Normal people don't need special apps. I have even installed Linux Mint on my parents computer. Only complain so far: No ads in the card game for toilet breaks. Lol
I'm only concerned about driver update software for the navigation system or dashcam. I will probably use a VM for that later. But besides of that connecting iPhone and PC and printer to PC work even better

But if you look at labor you are basically forced to use the Microsoft crap even when it is only mail, calendar, word and browser, you need to use what the company want, not what you want

@codemonkeymike I would go further and say it is Linux vs lobbyists and a monopoly

Many people don't want to use Linux or simply can't. One part does not want to learn new things and is trying to get along with Windows

Another side rely on programs that are only developed for Windows. Developers need to learn to rewrite programs for Linux, not because they don't know how to program but because they focus on range what currently implies to rely on a closed-source, cooperate driven operating system

The last side is influenced by lobbying, bought by Microsoft and earning money. Or is controlled by someone who is a great "investor" of Microsoft

Most times I have seen people rejecting Linux were reasoned with "too small" or "Not much supported". That "too small" part includes developers and end-users so just another discussion killer
