Edit: here is some context because people are getting mad
the reason i asked because my friend asked me to install linux on his laptop because he wanted to look like a cringey hacker so i installed it but after i installed linux few days after he reinstalled windows(i am not sure why but he said he can’t run bluestack, i suggested other VMs but he wouldn’t have any other way but that’s not reason i think he switched he was being dismissive) and now his mic and web cam is not working and some other stuff, so he’s asking me again to reinstall linux constantly and i don’t want to do that again (why? My school is far from my home around 9km/5.5 and i go there by my bicycle so after school I don’t wanna waste my time installing linux)so i was just ranting didn’t expect to make people mad
Because it’s reliable, capable, and comes preinstalled on everything. Linux is better in a lot of ways, but it’s only really good for power users who can install it then can deal with the quirks or people who only use Facebook and need the stability. Everyone else will get confused by the differences to what they’re used to, then when they try to install Microsoft Office or Photoshop, they’ll just ask whoever installed it to “put it back to normal.”
