Most people don't really use windowns because they like it but because of the third parties applications that only run on windows

Most techies, maybe. MAYBE. Linux has not been anywhere near user friendly enough over the past 2 decades to be remotely usable by normal people. Not a chance.

This hasn't been true for at last a decade. Go ahead and install linux and windows and let us know which one is easier to get and install.

I main Linux. I've been using it for over 2 decades. I'm speaking from personal experience when I say that if you think Linux was mainstream ready prior to the last few years, you have no idea what the average pc user is incapable of.

what matters is that right now linux is more user friendly than windows.
