It's easier than ever to use Linux these days and Lemmy certainly doesn't lack for penguin faithful that'll proselytize and condemn you to computer-hell if you don't adopt their religion.
But the """problem""" is that Windows works okay for the vast majority of users. Most of the annoying parts of W11 can be changed or disabled within the OS itself, without needing special tools or knowledge. And I think that the vast majority of users don't even care enough to do that. We use stock W11 at work and while the "new" style right menus and shit are annoying, they still function fine.
Windows likely won't lose serious market share until prebuilt PCs come with Linux instead of Windows installed. Especially the non-gaming prebuilts.
