Even if that's true, most computer users don't install Windows. It comes preinstalled.

Maybe so, but it's not nearly as good of an option as getting continued support for your preinstalled OS.

Both are valid points, but you did write that Linux is harder to install and maintain. I disagree on those two points.

Pre-installed with a decent support plan is hard to beat regardless if it's Windows, MacOS or something like Linux Mint.
