story: Windows is becoming an absolute pain in the bum to use with all
the advertising (no mention of the continual stream of serious bugs in
this one, though), so she switched to using a Macintosh. (Second-hand,
bought cheap -- what was that myth about high Mac resale values?)
And then got a flood of viewer comments suggesting she try Linux. So
she did--this time, without buying any new hardware, just resurrecting
an abandoned machine she had lying around. And found it brought new
life to an old, tired Windows laptop. Just like countless other
switchers.
Long story short: switching from Mac to Linux turned out to be easier
then switching from Windows to Mac.

Yeah, I just the other day put Win11 on my computer and decided not to

That's an indication that:
1. Linux is inexpensive.
2. That it is easy to turn off unnecessary processes.
It has literally nothing to do with it being superior in the context of
its use for PERSONAL computing.
You know: the subject under discussion.

The only reason I would mostly agree is that M$ has made their peace
with Linux.-a They know Winblows will never genuinely compete with it, as
an OS.-a They win on being mainstream and supporting apps (as my recent decision to change my mind on the installation of Win11/Norton being temporary illustrates).
They want Linux because it would actually serve their purposes,

I'm not denying anything, if they wanna pay Apple for junk hardware and software, it's their wallet to set on fire.
I paid $190 plus tax and financing for this mini PC with 16 GB RAM and
512 GB SSD, and Win11 Pro. -aThat's real value.

When a seasoned long-time Windows veteran decides to give Linux a try,
and tries his hardest to throw every weirdo bit of hardware he can
find at it to knock it over, and it remains bloodied but unbowed <https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-replace-windows-with-linux/>,
you know things are getting serious. It shows that some Windows fans
are getting increasingly desperate for a way out.
MacOS runs only on its own hardware, nothing else. Windows can run on
some, but not all, Linux hardware, and not at all on Apple hardware.
Linux is the only one that can run on hardware designed for the other
two platforms.
