I thought this was Hacker News! How come dumping Windows for Linux in the year 2026 makes the headlines?

For some reason, there's a huge amount of Hacker News readers who are still full-time Windows users. With the forced migration to Windows 11, I guess a lot of them are now not only trying out Linux for the first time (as a desktop system), but also for some reason going for Arch derivatives, which is always fun to see a beginner mess with LOL

Desktop Linux is still very niche, even in technical communities like HN.
