If you look at fediverse monitoring stats, every new wave brings the total users to a very high peak, but then the users start decreasing steadily, like a capacitor discharging, until the next wave. It seems we depend on more waves to keep up with a reasonable number of people. It’s probably a similar pattern with linux. With the end of win10, if got to like 5%, but has been going down since then

I suspect retention would actually be better for Linux. I used to be addicted to reddit before switching to Lemmy. Now I’m less addicted and don’t check it as much as I used to check reddit. With a computer, making the switch means you’ve made the switch. Some people will dual-boot and go back to windows for some essential software but once you make the transition, you’re still going to use your computer.
