@eickot The other difference is that people buy PCs with Windows installed, whereas they have to install Linux themselves on hardware that might not support it well.

@thelinuxEXP I was going to include that too, but I thought the annoying part is not in the install in windows, but in the booting. But of course, there is no computer in any MediaMarkt, Fnac (or your prefered electronic shop) that comes with Linux.

Not really true, you can find companies who sell HW with Linux on it, what annoys me is that they cost twice or more.
Look for example at Stystem76, great PC but boy, prices are very high.
In the past Dell was selling some PC with Linux installed.

@thefwguy @thelinuxEXP yes, and I'm pretty sure that the average user buys it on electronic shop.
