@BrodieOnLinux Not really, it's just a tool... and they tend to get more and more annoyed (rightfully so) with more and more bloat added to the OS, changing interface and so on.
Windows 11 is absolutely atrocious, even my most stubborn friends said they'll need my help with getting used to Linux once M$ drops support for W10. It's perfect timing too, since new driver for Nvidia cards will be ready by then.
Many of my co-workers comment on me using KDE in the office and think it's "fast" and "pretty", but they wouldn't switch to Linux because "nothing works on it" (in regards to M$'s tools). I tried explaining to them that you can use webapps, there are ""native"" clients for teams or thunderbird instead of outlook and even full O365 replacement in form of LibreOffice but they're well, stubborn for the lack of better word. Favourite party trick is showing them Steam running on it with windows-only games, it somehow blows their minds.
The only solid argument I've seen in favour of Windows is backwards compatibility, but realistically speaking, it's not that important since most software can be easily patched to run on newer systems and we seem to be moving towards flatpak-powered future anyway. Plus, wine has better compatibility with very old windows games/software than windows itself.
