    The problem is that people dont want freedom and privacy, they want ease of use and software compatibility.

      Ease of use has been getting worse. And with the way enshittification has been hitting, the need for compatible software is likely to shift into a need for software that does what it says on the tin without 2 linked accounts and AI integration.

      Those weren’t any of the points that I brought up. And are poor arguments against telling people their options.

      That’s right, you know what’s best for everyone and if you just don’t tell the poor children that the option is even a thing, they’ll grow up happy Windows users and have lots of grandchildren for you.

      I got fed up with Windows and recently tried Linux Mint. In regards to ease of use it was like a breath of fresh air. Things just work inherently, and I didn’t have to fight with it to remove bullshit I didn’t want.

      As for software compatibility I’ve mostly already had alternatives readily available. For other things the tools exist to make them compatible and don’t take long to learn.

      There is no reason not to recommend it to people who are getting annoyed with the enshittification of Windows.
