      Sure, but an ordinary user does not have to install Windows since it is already there. This is Linux’s burden. IMO a lot of techies in this discussion are underestimating it.

        Who is going to pay Dell, HP, Acer, etc to install Linux?

        Just because MS can throw billions at these OEMs doesn’t make that “Linux’s burden”.

          So, in concrete terms, you are disputing that Fedora and Ubuntu make this chore much easier than Debian does? Or you just don’t care?
