A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

And the other 80% only stayed because they were either not confident enough in their technical abilities to switch or had no choice (environment would need to be re-certified, software doesn't work well with wine, boss said no).
The other 80% are probably older folks that don’t know any better, nor have the expertise to install Linux, and the rest are people locked into Windows because of work.
Pretty much the two groups that I had in mind but I wanted to generalize a bit.
