This reminds me of the situation with online ads.

Most people with ad blockers don't realize how unusable the web is for those that don't have ad blockers. I think most would agree this is a poor state that industry incentives have landed us in, and with the web being distributed, it's hard to know how to fix.

Similarly those who use Linux probably don't realize how bad Windows has got recently.

Microsoft has managed to replicate this awful ux problem on a system that they entirely control...

When your computer does what you tell it and it doesn't actively try to undermine your intentions, computing becomes fun again.

Windows used to be like that too, when MS was more focused on being hostile to the competition than its own customers.

My 5 year old laptop runs a lot faster as well.

Linux was designed to run on potatoes and has very little bloat over the years. The UX isn't terribly worse on fairly old hardware.

Instead, you get battered by proselytes every time you go online! :D
