They're mentally lazy, even M$ is better and more robust, albeit at
the expense of having a system without literally every kind of bloat
imaginable. Linux is clearly the way to go.

For me Linux works fine but it's a hard sell to friends as they are so intertwined into Windows it
would be impossible for them to switch to Linux. I have one friend who has a Macbook and he has
nothing but issues trying to perform work for the company he is employed. It's mostly complex Excel
spreadsheets. Most other stuff is in the cloud and works fine.
