Will Linux replace Windows?

Will Linux replace Windows?
Windows users, do you want to stay?

Windows is still the top desktop operating system, accounting for more than 90% of the market share, far exceeding macOS and Linux.

From the data point of view, although linux is not the top successor of Windows, more and more users have switched to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other release versions in recent years, which has indeed brought a huge increase to Linux.

In the face of a lot of criticism since the launch of Windows 10, the radical Upgrade Strategy adopted by Microsoft later is obviously useless. Many users complained that they were upgraded to Windows 10 without knowing it, which prompted some users to decide to give up Microsoft products and switch to Linux.

At the same time, some voices have accused Microsoft of attempting to monitor users through Windows 10. These criticisms have also boosted more users to invest in the Linux camp.

How do you choose Windows or Linux?

More than a decade ago, users switched to Linux mainly for security reasons, because Windows is the main target of viruses and hackers around the world.

This is because Windows is the most widely used operating system, but Microsoft's security design was not as practical as it is today.

In recent years, although the security gap between Linux and Windows is not so obvious, users who decide to switch to the camp seem to have other reasons except security.

We don't want to use market statistics to illustrate the problem, because the data is irrelevant during the Windows and Linux battles. However, users' voices are crucial because they always represent and represent the trend of each platform.

This is why we ask the reader the question: is Linux a suitable replacement for Windows? Is it wise to choose Linux instead of Windows? Should Microsoft be nervous about user flow to Linux? Please leave your comments in the comments.
