We are not talking about enterprise.
We're talking about individual users, people who buy a computer for their kids or for themselves.
Fancy hosted domain and entra setups and enterprise activations are not relevant to this discussion.
This.
There will be many people "stuck" with Windows for work (or even choosing it for some particular piece of software). For me, work is MacOS and Apple hardware, and home is Linux on the desktop and my NAS.

Like I said, for my personal use, it's Linux.
For work, I don't choose, it's chosen for me. My company oriented to "zero-trust" remote work even before the pandemic. That means that transition away from being a Microsoft shop was easier (they were Windows / .Net before 2017, but cloud-everything changed that).
For personal use I will 100% advocate Linux over Windows. You're advocating Windows because it's easier for you to ship boxes to employees. Not because it's better for the employees.

Sorry you misread a straightforward, no-nonsense reply as angry.
