2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

You're right. And people continue to use Windows because all software is available for it. See... Adobe products, Notion, Windows games with just a double click, even the Whatsapp application, Full OneNote and do not even mention MS Office...

Yeah, I think the reason many don't switch, is because of software availability.

I think the main reason is it's preinstalled on most PCs and most people have no idea Linux exists let alone how how to install a new OS.

I mean, yeah. But retailers with install Windows on them, even if Microsoft don't pay them a dime (at least in my country it is like that)
