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
Pre-installed is the biggest factor. Go to Walmart or best buy. You’ll find windows and Mac and chromebooks.
I don’t think it’s “laziness” per se, but rather people aren’t that technically inclined. It’s too much of a challenge for the average person especially when they don’t understand the benefits.
For me, someone who’s used both, I’m now using a windows machine because there are two applications that aren’t available for Linux os’s that I need for work. You cannot use a substitute program (one is a less common secure video conference program).
Our media pc in the living room is running a Linux OS, but when we try to watch the local web player for national programming (Ireland) Firefox won’t run the player on Linux like it can on Windows, so we have to use Chrome, which I absolutely hate doing.
I’d love to use Linux full time, but I must use a couple of windows/mac OS applications, so I put up with windows. Win 10 isn’t so bad.
I’m waiting on Linux to get proper HDR support before being able to use one for TV use. Been waiting for that for years.
fair enough. wife and l arent, I guess, videophiles and don’t really care about the highest resolutions etc
