Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

one can hope, but I think it’s a long shot. Most of my normie friends aren’t going to switch even if microsoft assigned a live person to sit next to them and monitor their usage. “it needs to just work, and i know how to use it” they say (or something along those lines).

Its because its used in schools, they learn it, they become reliant on it, its in their workplaces, at their home.
Its why Microsoft dont really care if you pirate Windows, the more people using it, the more reliant they are on it, then they cash in big time at the enterprise level. Same with Photoshop etc etc.
If we taught how to use Linux instead...

Yeah exactly! We need to ask Linux in schools! I even tried to convince the headmaster of a school by saying how they would save money with linux sice they don’t have to pay licenses and hardware last longer, all the software they use is linux compatible (they even use LibreOffice instead of MS office!) I don’t go to that school anymore so i don’t know if they did it but i doubt
