As a longtime Linux-only user, I love how M$ is driving people over to a new OS. But, with increased publicity and adoption makes it a growing target for hackers.
I actually would prefer windows people stay on windows...becuase I don't want my favorite operating system dumbed down...
Odds are, like most things on Linux, there will be an option for a dumbed down distro or a reasonable one. Things like Ubuntu, grasping for mass appeal, will get dumber. Arch, for example, likely won't.
We can send them off to ZorinOS as their first diatro. It's like Linux on training wheels lol
My middle son, who is non-technical but anti-microsoft, runs Fedora 44 (same as I do actually)
He actually really prefers it... :)
I too am afraid the Arch BTW© company will worsen when user base increases
