Oh yeah, I forgot about our gamers! They will whine that you can't play games on Linux. It's very funny because for a long time there has been a program called lux-wine that allows you to open 95% of .exe programs and even more so you can choose any version of Windows without downloading anything, there is like proton and so on.
I am ready to talk to anyone about this topic, but not for the purpose of humiliation or insult.
I don't know anybody that actively dislikes Linux. I do know a lot of people that only knows it by name though. And I don't see the need to create strawman rivalry with users of another operating system because I don't use Linux to augment my personality. But maybe that's just me.
Most people don't know how to use it and they're not willing to learn. They stick to what they know and younger ones aren't that into compurers anyway.
I wouldn't say so, because many people use PCs, but I agree that they are lazy and don't want to spend a couple of months learning the OS to use it the way they want, at the speed they need, etc. But that doesn't change the fact that when they first started using their PCs, they spent time learning the OS (they just weren't told about Linux, heh)
Honestly, the number of times I had to explain what ctrl+c and ctrl+v do is disturbing. Turned out a bunch of people replaced computers with phones which is fine, but made me wonder what the hell they did in schools.
Most people don't think of operating systems. They think software and hardware is an all in one deal. It's not Linux, it's android. It's not windows, it's a PC. Ect....
We had Linux laptops/desktops for public users a while back and it worked out well. Most people use a browser anyways instead of specific programs.
