No they are more the rule. I have to deal with windows every day. I do all of it remotely using Linux. Because Linux just works and I don’t have time to deal with windows bullshit. Linux has been stable and reliable, particularly on my laptops where I do nothing but update or upgrade. My desktop has caused me a few issues over the years, been rolling Arch for 6 years or so, but I think that is to be expected.
Windows on the other hand, what a pain in the ass.
But I will agree that end users, in general are unlikely to use Linux over Windows in most cases. Not because Linux isnt ready, but that is what os their computer came with, that is what they are familiar with, and largely it is what they will make apologies for. I mean lets be real: most people don’t want a computer at all. I can’t blame them. My elderly mother vastly prefers her iPad over a computer no matter what the OS is on the computer.
