#Linux people need to understand: nobody moves to Linux because they want, but because they need to.
That “need” is a breaking #Windows update, or a slow computer, 99% of the time.
The sooner they come up with a migration app for Windows, the better. Otherwise we’ll keep seeing <5% Linux users forever.
@darkghosthunter I think in any user base larger than say 2 people, you are going to see a lot of motivations
And of course with a few million users (to a billion, Android lumped in) you are going to see a lot more
At this point maybe every possible reason
@darkghosthunter and fwiw, I think the worst possible thing we can do is imagine some hypothetical user who "should" be on Linux, and then demand the ecosystem serve that fever dream
Personally, I think it's great that there are distros and spins for so many of us
@darkghosthunter Mint is generally considered best for people who want to make the minimum effort to move, and that's fine
It doesn't mean Cachy should be directed at the same audience
Or that anyone is really going to satisfy any old Windows who don't want to put in any effort at all
@buckfiftyseven Yeah. Since it's another ecosystem, the problem is mostly how to replace your usual software with an alternative.
Same happens in macOS, but it's less abrasive given there is always a port of something.
