      Yea and I bet you installed it for them. If you provide IT support for people than yea totally doable. I switched to android and people call my phone a cheap phone or laugh at it granted the people I hang out with me included are middle class at best and I have a flagship phone and they are rocking iPhone 11s and stuff. Point being marketing is key and open source doesn’t have a Nike like following

        I did, because when you buy a PC, Linux is not installed by default. If it was, I wouldn’t have had to install it for them.

        Ever since moving everyone to Linux, I haven’t had to do any IT support. Honestly.
