My family had 3 windows machines a few years ago. Now we have 3 Linux machines.
I know we're not representative of the public at large, but my siblings are interested in transitioning... My friends are having more and more gripes with windows lately... Seems like a revolution is on the horizon. Never seen this sort of willingness, so who knows
Good on you all!!!
Hope you and your family can help others make the switch too.
Nobody deserves to stay over on the horrible side
Edit: Oh and many of us have been getting people to switch or dual boot, and getting others to help out the effort. So definitely seeing the first fruits of that.
Can't wait for us to get 15% then 30% seeing Linux hardware, and devices gradually become everywhere
