When support for Win7 ends in 2020 it's easy to imagine a lot of people will be migrating to Linux.
Spydows just keeps getting shittier and Linux keeps getting better.
Then we've got Vulkan on the horizon and it's not hard to see that the days of that M$ surveillance engine being the "avid users OS" are numbered.
@Linux yes indedd i agree 100 percent i got 2 of my family members off 7 already and onto linux mint 4 months ago and they are glad they
switched
@Jameshjacksonjr Very warming to hear that! Keep doing the Penguin's work good man 
👍
They wont be moving back either
@Linux Heard it way too often before the last two decades, it never happened so far. Only chance for that possibly would be a couple of larger vendors starting to ship Linux devices to end users. But I rather see these folks moving from PC to mobile devices, Apple, Android ...
@Linux @z428 they said the same with the end of support for Windows XP and the introduction of Windows 8. So I agree that we'll only see major adoption if either OEMs start shipping Linux distributions on their machines, or if Windows switches its own kernel with the one from Linux and instantly become the biggest Linux distribution overnight. And it isn't like the aren't shipping Linux already. Just take a look at Azure Sphere 😎
@RyuKurisu @z428 You COULD be overthinking this 
@RyuKurisu @Linux Well I'm not sure, then again, whether Linux kernels on Azure or Windows count in here. And, for that matter, I don't really care much about *Linux* on the desktops, I'd rather see *GNU/Linux* (with an emphasis on the Software Libre aspects) on mainstream desktop systems. But, like I said, I've seen several "to-be-the-year-of-the-Linux-desktop"s by now, as well as I read about Linux *now* replacing Windows with virtually each major Windows update. We see what ...
@RyuKurisu @Linux ... happened. Maybe we're doing it wrong. And then again, maybe Windows vs. Linux ain't the biggest problem anymore these days.
@Linux
Seriously tho! I have been flirting with moving for years but now is the time. I'm on Ubuntu now and really have been interested in the FOSS community lately.
@BruteNerd Welcome to The Light Side
@Linux
Lol. Thanks. After learning Cisco IOS, CLI doesn't seem as scary as it did before.
@BruteNerd Yep, terminal is just a handy tool; many tasks are so much quicker and more convenient to do through it 💪
@Linux @BruteNerd to be precise, the Linux terminal is awesome. Anything CLI in Windows or even DOS is a pain in the butt by comparison
This is the hard part: No matter how shit a user experience it is, as long as the application support is there for productivity and games, people will keep using it.
