Windows is making people annoyed more and more (saying this as a guy who grew up with it and is still not anti windows) and with the recent trump 2 / use-european-tech .. it might be a clear enough narrative for people to try linux distros. Fedora 41 on a 2015 laptop is lean and cute.. enough for most normies IMO. It could be a boost for everybody, no need to buy a new laptop, simpler times without Microsoft pulling shenanigans every year, more open source market share.

ps: just in time for https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1kc074t/linux_us_mar...

Yes, the are making consumers more and more annoyed. The are not making enterprises annoyed. All the bloat and ads that we hear about again and again is not present in their enterprise offering.
