Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s

Unfortunately Windows is still the most user “easy to use” system. As much as I dislike it, it’s designed for the average tech illiterate consumer.

I’ve been flip flopping between Linux and Windows for a few years.

I can't imagine walking around and just assuming everything is a magic black box and not have the slightest curiosity about how something works.
Except for the fact, that you do that to plenty of other disciplines of life. It is simply that some people need a computer to work, they don’t need one as a hobby. They don’t want to “learn a new thing” they want their machine to output some calculations in excel. Same as you don’t learn woodworking when ordering a table from Ikea, or learning medicine when going to a checkup.
I don’t think I really do. I always want to be able to fix all of the things I own so I always like to understand how they work. I don’t always actually end up learning enough about them but it’s not from lack of curiosity

The same thing might apply to people that just don’t know how to install another OS.

I’ll take my wife as an example, she knows how to work on a computer (Windows) in her dreams. Spreadsheets, documents, media, you name it. But, does she know how to work the command line? Absolutely not. If her Windows license is about to expire, she calls me. Her files get mangled up, she calls me. It’s not her job to know these things, it’s mine, she’s a social worker, I work in IT.
