15 years back people were given Windows macOS and Linux and people voted which OS were ready for the Desktop and which were not. The only BS is your inflammatory contribution to this topic.
The average user only cares what they can run on the desktop. Linux did not have as much choice back then.
Nope, Macs were expensive stuff games did not run on, and linux was just not pushed by near anyone.
It was not a war "which desktop is easier to use", it was "which system can run stuff I need". And if "the need" was "video games and office stuff", your only choice was windows.
