> The dominance of Windows is crazy, even today, Mac desktops and laptops are comparatively niche

But for whom and to do what? People around me, like my wife and mother in law, are happy with an Android phone. If they use a computer, the only thing they need is a browser.

I wouldn't be surprised if 90%+ of all Windows users would use Windows for one thing: click on a browser icon.

That's why after one malware too many I confiscated my mother-in-law's Windows laptop and got her a Chromebook.

I'd say that's why the shit UI/UX doesn't even matter anymore for most users: the only use a browser anyway.



So much this. Just make sure their browser is working and updating and that office files automatically open with a fitting software.

I have way less work since everybody just gets Linux
