We don’t need this self defeatist attitude as it’s plain wrong. People are switching to Linux albeit glacially at the moment.

I switched to linux. I'm all for it and very much encourage people to do so. I'm loving the push for gaming support too, so I do hope there's progress there. But ignoring the install base of international corporations is just lying to yourself. Find a significant company that's going to switch all their business PCs to Linux because of Win11 and I will gladly eat my words.

While it’s good you personally use Linux, It would definitely help out the movement more if you were more verbally encouraging towards it.

We don’t need corporations to do the right thing we need the everyday people to do so to greatly increase the demand for Linux support.
