Hell yeah.

I ended up doing a full reinstall of my dual boot last month, and I haven't had to touch the windows partition once.

Unfortunately, the "Windows is trash" shift is going to hit the "computers cost HOW much now??" ceiling REALLY soon.

Fortunately, linux runs so much better than windows, it will always feel like an upgrade.

Absolutely.

But most users, faced with the cost of a new PC, will opt to go completely mobile instead.

They don't know Linux will give an older PC new life.

I'm doing my part. 2 steam decks and 3 PCs amongthe family.

Same. 4 laptops, 3 desktops, steam deck, and a moonlight server

I guess... if you ignore all the overall trajectory. Not too long ago I remember it being at 1.something%
