    Most people believe they will start seeing problems where there were none before. They need to invest time into research about their use-cases, which is a cost even before switching.

    The typical user used Windows since before they became scared of change, so that’s what they’ll stick with.

    The pain of using Windows still can and will be higher without the majority of people switching to anything.

      In some ways this was me, then win 11 came around and I really didn’t like it, and it was pretty unstable for me, so I was stuck between two options for change, neither being what I would call “comfortable” (I had to, win 10 was blue screening literally every other day) which was when I saw the steam deck announcement, (also the LTT Linux Challenge) and I haven’t given win 11 a serious try sense

        I don’t want to point fingers/cast shade or anything. Hell, I myself resist change where I can.

        It costs incredible amounts of energy and time to change, and that change might even be counter productive to some or most of the things you do.

        Gratulations on starting Linux, I hope it does everything you need it to do. Even if you should end up using it only for a short amount of time, I hope the experience enriches you.
