Because Linux is Niche. It doesn't as far as I know come pre installed at the store when you buy a computer. Etc. That's why people still use Windows.

I personally don't find anything wrong with Windows. I use it for work and home and it's fine.

*in the desktop market ( ref. )

It doesn’t as far as I know come pre installed at the store when you buy a computer.

AFAIK, there are stores and providers who have linux pre install options and there are even dedicated hardware supplies, who focus on linux ref. and ref

So stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT4vDfA_4NI doenst bother you?

I don't watch YouTube videos or click on those type of links, so I don't know what you posted, but no Windows doesn't bother me. It's just normal to use it.

And cool if Linux is installed now on laptops at Best Buy, didn't know that. But not many still, I'm sure.

those type of links

I am a little confused. Would you be so kind and tell me which of the links i shared look suspicious to you?

cool if Linux is installed now on laptops at Best Buy, didn’t know that.

Yep, pretty nice.

None of them look suspicious.. I just never watch YouTube. Unless it's on my TV, I should say. Or unless I'm trying to fix the toilet, in which case I like the tutorials on how to fix things like that... I just can't be bothered. I'd rather read the info. Call me a crazy GenX-er...

ah, ok i guess i misunderstood you, sorry.

If you are still interested: https://www.summarize.tech/www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT4vDfA_4NI Might also help if other people share youtube links with you that you dont care to watch.

Have a nice day.
