You seem to be implying that most people CAN learn linux. I've tried for 10 years now, on 4 different ossasions.

I don't get it. I WANT TO get it.......I don't get it. But I also don't want Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 11 especially.

............so I just stay on Windows 7.

And before anyone gives me flack about security, I'm not even 100% sure my firewall is on. I tinkered with it about 8 years ago, I don't remember if I turned it back on, or left it off.

I THINK I might have AVG free anti-virus, from like 10 years ago.........I honestly can't tell you the last time I ran it.

People won't switch to linux until the Android of PC distros comes out. The one that you can install programs by downloading a file. If thats .apk, fine. If it's .exe, fine. Just as long as the process goes "go to website, download file, double click file, get gui for installation process..............terminal? What's terminal? Oh no, are you sick?"

Now on android, you CAN still use terminal, but I would guess that less than 1% of its userbase knows what that is.

Since a corporation wrote the first version of Android, and since Linux is something like 40 years old.....but has never even attempted this approach on pc, I'm left to believe that the people who write these distros for free are actively against the idea of linux being adopted by the masses.

So no......people won't "learn it now, or learn it next year". They'll just suffer through whatever bullshit microsoft says. And thats going to affect the world. Because now microsoft will have a worldwide network of spying on EVERYONE. (Except those on mac or linux, which is like 15% of the pc market)
