Microsoft would really help Linux out if they did this.

I’d switch at that point. I’ve only not switched because the pain isn’t worth the reward right now. I’d have to learn a bunch of new apps and hasn’t been worth it.

Start charging a subscription fee. I’ll learn to use whatever tools a priority.

Trust me, it’s already worth it. Literally every other operating system in existence is better than windows. I’d use Temple OS before going back.

Remove the bloatware with a free program like ShutUp10++, and Windows is a fine OS. Linux may very well be better still, but better enough to go through the effort of switching over, reinstalling everything, relearning everything, finding alternatives to programs, etc.? I doubt it. Not for me at least.

I think the general consumer mostly uses the web browser tbh.
