I honestly kinda hope Microsoft doubles from on the garbage. Forcing normal people to try to use Linux is the only way to force Linux to shape up and be usable for normal people.

It's gonna be an Eternal September 2.0, but Linux will be better because of it.

Have you seen how many ads the average user puts up with?

Lol - phones are now just advertisement machines and trackers.

I wonder when Linux Desktops follow?

And how popular ad blockers are, and how much effort some people are willing to put into skipping YouTube ads, yes.

Even a couple more % of the market would be an unbelievable increase in Linux users.
