People don't care or they don't even know that other OSses exist

If windows 12 actually does require a monthly subscription, more people will probably consider Linux....

Imagine no WSL, no nothing. The only way to use Bash/Zsh is to use either a full blown VM or switch to Linux. All coders would 100% move to Linux, except that code in C++++.

I just develop in a VM that I SSH into from windows. No need for anything beyond the initial use of a windows terminal

I switched to Linux over a decade ago, love it. I'm currently running MXLinux. I may eventually try something that isn't Debian based.

How is money an issue? I can run down to the contracted office-supply refurbisher 2 miles away, buy a 2-year old lenovo mini PC for $160, and slap Debian on it for no additional licence fee.
