Linux is easier than ever to adop, distros like Mint just works out of the box, gaming with on Linux with proton and newer Wine much easier now… Macs are cheaper than ever with MacBook Neo, if you want something that would just works out of the box. So people have options and they need to realize there is tons of options for every need.

Can second this comment regarding Linux Mint. Many years ago I tried switching to Linux (Ubuntu, I think, back around 2008) but I lacked the knowledge and skills to make it work. Three or four months ago I decided to try again and downloaded Mint and installed it. I’ve been reading that gaming on Linux had gotten worlds better lately. I decided to just dip my toes first and set it up to dual boot, in case I chose to go back to Windows. I had very few problems with the installation and operation. Nothing that took more than a quick google search to solve. Since then it’s been not unlike using Windows. And yes, gaming seems to work pretty flawlessly too. I installed Steam and have had few issues with running any of the games I’ve tried.
