Yes you are right. It will increase marketshare giving it more support.

My point being web browsing and word processing was never a problem on linux or any other os. It is being used just because it is cheaper and people who buy personal pcs are still on windows or mac and they dont switch

All they need is a chrome browser, so why would the government waste money on windows licences? A huge win is when personal pcs switch to linux. Linux doing basic web browsing and word processing is not a huge win.

Considering the health sector is very huge in india because of the population. These health sector pcs contribute a lot to the overall market share in india.

I was specifically taking about office pcs. People sitting in front of those office pcs have better things to worry about. Their interaction with the linux os is clicking that giant chrome icon and they do whatever the IT guy taught them.

It contributes to the 4% worldwide linux market share. So think twice when you hear year of the linux desktop.

I just want to play my favourite games and do my work. For that windows just works.

I value making money and having fun with my pc more than microsoft spying on me. Ads? I dont see any ads on windows, maybe because i uninstalled things i dont want like onedrive and other apps.

How will they run adobe apps and play popular multiplayer games like cod, valorant, siege, finals, league of legends, EFT? How will they subscribe to game pass? How can they watch netflix 4k?

Whats wrong with windows? Everything just works.

5ghz wifi not working is a known problem. I had the same issue with multiple distros on a hp laptop. But i installed windows 11 and everything worked perfectly, even the trackpad for some reason felt better than in linux. Everything was taken care by windows updates.

What good does a good code base do when it cant run popular games and apps like cod, valorant, siege, league of legends, destiny, adobe apps etc? On windows everything just works even though it is not transparent or open source.

No one complains about ios/android requiring a login.

Until you realise it is mostly steam deck and indian govt office pc running linux.

Open source software also works on windows. I use package managers on windows with terminal. I uninstall all the bloat with terminal on windows. Everything just works and is supported better on windows.

No wonder the lack of software support.

So basically linix is a fragmented mess. I will just stick to windows all my games , apps work and i can also uninstall all the microsoft bloat with a single click.

Wow why linux is so broken with multiple package mangers. Is it supposed to be easier than windows? On windows i just type "choco install blender" on terminal and everything just works.

Some game updates just break proton compatibility.

If i use both, that will give me less incentive to be on linux , because windows even though it is annoying with microsoft bloat, everything just works and i will stay there because life is easier.
