Now that Windows and Mac got bad enough, and Linux got good enough, it's no longer always 100% quackenbarkers to say "switch to Linux" to ordinary minor grievances, so those people had to go somewhere.

I've never had any problems installing a browser on Windows. What's the problem? You run the installer and it installs itself in seconds, and the browser periodically updates itself on its own without having to figure out any dependency headaches.

I was equating "switch to nix" as the new "switch to linux".
