In all seriousness it’s very exciting, I just don’t need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol

    It is actually a good thing because “I need windows for gaming” is the biggest reason why compsci and IT people still have windows.

    You’re still right that it won’t win over non tech people though.

      Gaming is why my son has Windows. Minecraft mods and VR games are basically impossible on Linux, although he actually spends most time in Linux playing Stardew Valley (he’s tried learning Dwarf Fortress twice, and still not really gotten it, but maybe someday).

          I anticipated this question! As far as I can tell many of the mods require using some mod framework that is built up using some Windows program. Certainly documentation in the Minecraft world seems to mostly consist of YouTube videos of someone downloading stuff and clicking through installers, always on Windows.
