I feel like the gap between windows and more user friendly distros like Ubuntu and Mint is pretty narrow now. Linux still has to shake off the reputation of being difficult to use though. I’m not sure what that will take.
Microsoft has held onto the market with a variety of tools, even some downright anti competitive practices. Even if Linux was hypothetically a better OS, in every way, for every user, toppling MS as the dominant player would be still met with some resistance. That’s what happened with OS/2, and that was backed up by IBM.
Loosing what? A volley of arrows? I don’t generally care about small typos like this, but it’s always fun to be the reason an elitist prick is losing at elitism.

Except Windows does cater to it, and despite Linux’ supposed superiority it is still by far the dominant desktop OS.
