    I said “you” generic as a knowledgeable person.

    The people you are talking about didn’t install windows either. I’m talking about comparing apples and apples.

    There is no more difficulty installing or using windows or Linux, but in Linux there are less problems.

      Well me and the other guy were talking about laymen, and that’s context this conversation is happening in.

      And no they didn’t install Windows, but there’s also really on one “Windows” and spending more got you more but not different so even if you got ripped off at least you knew you weren’t missing something. That means they could just buy any old Windows laptop and call it a day. Now, if we just default to Ubuntu and ask that ASUS and HP and whoever else start selling laptops with that by default that’d certainly be a start but it would, nonetheless, be a hard sell. We should still try, but it’s still gunna be hard.
