For a democracy to work it’s people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.
I am wondering, what is enjoyable about Windows/Microsoft?
The slow & buggy UI?
The blue screens due to crappy drivers or bc they fucked something up?
The way they erase any customisability, essentially forcing their users to adapt their vision of how a computer should be operated?
How they are coming up with great ideas such as taking system snapshots and having AI analyze them?
The updates that randomly decide to install and then take an eternity with the end user not being able to use their PC whilst an update is taking place?
The 10.000 different ways of updating software?
How they are blatantly ripping off features whilst marketing them as their own ideas?
The way they are turning it more and more into an advertising platform for their own products?
The $139.00 license fee for everything I just mentioned?
Like, the only enjoyable thing I can think of is software availability but thanks to WINE / Proton this advantage is becoming less and less relevant.
Why do you all want to rule the world? Just let people who like windows enjoy it… Jesus christ.
an attempt at an answer:
more linux users = more linux software (and I know this doesn’t mean better linux software)
Or at least attention from the bigger actors e.g., Adobe, Autodesk etc. to make their industry standards available for Linux users
I’d rather Adobe not do that, but to each his own.
More Linux users =>

“Why do you want to educate people? Just let them live in ignorance of the theft right under their noses… Thor Odinson.” - that’s what you sound like
look at the culture and mindset which Windows™ breeds.

That’s political consumerism, not democracy.
