In the grand scheme of things the pyramids were built relatively recently, but I’d still consider it quite long ago

They don’t relly know better. Windows is familiar, Linux sounds too complicated and techy. Hell, I was thinking the same and I’m reasonably tech savvy. It’s infinitely more friendly than I’d ever expect.
People are afraid of change and unknown. Though ironically Linux might actually be closer to the original Windows experience that Win11 is (speaking from my limited experience with Mint)
You are correct, but on the other hand it doesn’t hurt to make the average person aware of alternatives.
Can be especially effective when the person buys a new PC and needs to do all the stuff you mention anyway. Yes, it is still a new OS, but honestly, it’s not that different - especially if the person remembers older Windows versions, it might just feel like going to familiar places (I know this is something my wife would really apreciate as she hates the constant changes of how things look). Obviously depends on distro, only have experience with Mint.
I’m saying this from a position of a resonably tech savvy, but not your average tech nerd (at least knowledge wise lol). Sure there are differences under hood but I don’t think the average user would really notice them that much.
They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that’s when ads start.
I can’t imagine anyone being pushed by anything if they weren’t pushed away until now
That’s what I figured, but I’m not expert on how things work so wanted someone who knows more chime in. Sad times
Since it is server side, will this effect the alternative front ends?
From what I read it’s being released to users gradually I think?
And yet it is…
I know it’s stupid but /s really should be mandatory if you arennot serious. Because there are too many prople that are
I’m sure fines are under “other expenses” in their financials…
