The main reason is the better alternative costs twice as much.

Wow. I didn’t know Linux cost that much! /s

  • Cost isn't only money. In the case of linux it is time to learn to use it (which is a sunk cost on windows: already paid it). Then you need to download and install it - again windows comes by default so a sunk cost.

      How much time do you need to take to learn "click on the swirly orange thing for Internet"? It looks just the same as it does in every other OS.

      This is actually something I'm coping with at the moment, because I have to learn how to use Windows and it's the most backwards thing ever to use.
