normies use windows because it's what came with their prebuilt PC, which came with windows because it's what normies use, perpetuating the cycle; trying anything else doesn't cross their minds because the average person greatly overestimates how complex replacing their OS or using linux actually is
for some there's issues of compatibility with specific software they need for work or video games, but they're a minority and the average user isn't really doing anything except browsing the web

Because tech illiterates think Windows is a requirement to use a PC. As in, if a PC doesn't have Windows "it just cannot work at all". People don't know what an operating system is.

I'm not even kidding...

Yesterday I was actually talking to a boomer who told me he bought a laptop, I saw the receipt and the laptop came with Linux (probably Ubuntu). He additionally paid for a Windows 11 license and had someone install Windows 11 onto it. The conversation went like this:
>Me: why did you pay for Windows when your laptop already came with an OS?
>Him: But it didn't.
>Me: No it did, it says so right here. (I show the receipt)
>Him: But it didn't come with Windows.
>Me: Yes, but it came with Linux. You could've used that for free instead of paying for a Windows license.
>Him: I didn't know. I thought a computer doesn't work unless it has Windows.
>Me: Well what do you need Windows for? Anything specific?
>Him: Only the web browser to watch Youtube, read news and check email. I won't do anything else on it.

People have been brainwashed between 1970s and 2000s to think Windows is the only thing that exists on computers. People don't know what an operating system is nor which operating systems exist. They only know Windows, iOS and Android exist but they don't know what they mean.

So, to answer the question of "If Linux is so great, why don't more people use it?" - the real reason is the massive amount of marketing that Microsoft did over 20 years ago. It completely bought the mind share of average people to the point that they clearly WANT Windows even if their devices come with an already working operating system.

That's why Microsoft can shit all over Windows, add an infinite number of telemetry services, back doors, AI espionage services, etc. Most people aren't aware that Windows is being "enshittified" nor are they aware of ANY of the Windows-related drama.

This, but unironically.

>>108022344
carrying is for losers

>>108022998
define "an entire os", because for linux the "minimum viable product" to be a linux distro is basically;
- linux
- busybox or similar
- a package manager
like the alpine container image for example is 5 megs

>>108023091
also note that an application bundle doesn't need a copy of linux, as it uses the host kernel, it also doesn't need busybox since you're not interacting with that when using the application, and it also doesn't need a package manager since the purpose of an application bundle is to contain one application.
so no, an application bundle doesn't ship with an os

>>108019792
Because it's the equivalent of using Windows XP. It's not that you have to be super tech savvy to use it, but most people are far too retarded to operate anything more than
>tap app
>use app
The overwhelming majority of people would not be able to use XP, today.
That and the stimga of being dogshit until relatively recently. It will take another decade to catch up, but even then don't hold your breath.

>>108023178
I would argue that XP is better. You have access to all the good windows apps that mog modern linux equivalents like photoshop of microsoft office, you can even run some modern slopware with one core api, and it will play well with most hardware thats actually worth your time, although not all of it, sadly.

>>108019792

Because it’s not so great, and you should know by now that autistic people have limited indoor voice loudness and awareness. Linux is best at behind the scenes stuff like web servers. A bigger case is being made for gaming lately because it has less overhead than Windows, but that will be shortlived. Windows 12 will stump all other options again. Watch

>>108019792
Because 99% of people tie their shoes wrong.

3.5% of all active Steam users is actually quite a lot. That's more than a million people with Linux online right this very instant in time, with Steam at least in their system tray.

>>108023188
>I would argue that XP is better
Likely, because you quite literally do not ever need the terminal. The point I was making was more just about the expectations of user competency. You needed to know what files and folders were for XP. You needed to know how to get and open .exes to install shit. You needed to know what shortcuts were, and where your programs were installed. Nothing complex at all, but far more than
>tap app
>use app
And honestly I hope Linux never becomes that, because then it's just going to permanently enshitify like every other OS. I do not think Linux should even strive to be mainstream. Competent people will make the switch, stupid but willing will as well, but the technologically retarded won't, which is good. Imagine if the internet still took some level of technological understanding and competency to use...

>>108019792

This will never ever happen and I am tired of people fear mongering about this because it doesn't make any sense. No one owns Linux, if devs fuck up a distro then it just gets forked by new developers and the old version and its devs fade into irrelevancy. There are a thousand distros, each with their own super niche customizations according to what people want, and when they do what people want, they get rewarded by becoming a very popular distro. If people hate SNAPS there isn't anything Ubuntu can do about it except cope and seethe because unlike Microsoft, they don't have control over our computers' software. If a boat is sinking in the Linux world it is so easy to just jump into the next one.

>>108023300
>No one owns Linux,
whoever contributes to linux the most, controls it. If a big company says that desktop linux will look like this or that, it will happen, because everyone knows that without paid contributors supplied by big companies linux would look exactly like gnu hurd nowadays, when literally nothing works and it recently became possible to shutdown your computer gracefully with it. Aggressive enforcement of troonland is the best example of that.

- Flatpak repos are company-controlled

Centralized device management enrollment, policies, remote actions
Application sandboxing own Flatpak repo with strict allow-lists
Browser-centric workflows SaaS first
Stateless or near-stateless endpoints fast recovery, low support cost

No fucken malware, no viruses, no crowdstrike shit or any "antivirus" slop.

having to open a terminal at all is a joke, you get to that point on mac for some pretty niche things, not just trying to get a regular thing to work

It's the (not so) little things. I love linux but being able to run mainstream software on the go is unparalled.

You don't get how many people use their phone as their main/only computer. Laptops have become devices which many people only use for the web browser and nothing else. He's not the only tech illiterate person I know, most of them only use a web browser or at most download images and pdfs.

everyone says everything "just werks" on linux, yet people still tend to report issues with both nvidia and AMD
>Like .deb?
like debs, rpms, flatpaks, snaps, appimages, linyaps and God knows what
>Corpo fags or tranny fags, pick your posion I guess
As I have said, linux maintainers are so insufferable that they can make your average rajeesh manipur from microsoft look like the nicest person ever.

We have already seen examples of games running better on Wine than natively on Windows.
As for the executables, Windows also has multiple other extensions (bat scripts, visual basic, cmd..), the point is, you could standarise .deb the same way you did .exe. Hell, even SteamOS can execute .deb despite being Arch based. Just pick one distro as the default desktop Linux and stick with it

Nice try Kumar.

You can't even get root access (SYSTEM) on Windows without hacking the damn thing

back in the day (at least), you could get SYSTEM access by just making cmd.exe your screensaver
