@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Because things don't happen in a vacuum, Personal computers wasn't the realm of academy where the FOSS movement began.

There was a legacy of 20+ years of proprietary software on the PC platform running DOS, that ecosystem of productivity software jumped to Windows many years before Linux even existed.

It is called market inertia, for Linux to usurp Windows it would have to be not just good, but better at being Windows than Windows.

A pretty hard bar to jump, and a pointless endeavor (check Android)

If you are happy with Windows, be my guest, I'm happy for you.
