Average consumer and younger users being on average overall less techy / so much UX being v abstracted away from understanding the relationship and structure of software/hardware you’re using so extremely does make that shift harder, but not impossible

Makes me so sad because I /loved/ Windows 98/XP/7 and despite everything am still a big Vista defender, but I really can’t justify Windows 10/11 any more and it’s not getting better unless they keep losing market share

Windows is somehow more miserable to use than it’s ever been, and yet outdoing itself at getting worse every day

macOS on Apple Silicon hardware is an absolute joy to use, just smooth and reliable for work out of the box

Depending on the distro and type of work, lots of options have matured
for Linux, and can go immutable if you want something unlikely to break

Regulators just straight up shouldn’t have allowed a scenario where if this bubble pops the economic fallout is potentially catastrophic but here we are I guess
