StatCounter reported that desktop Linux reached over 4% market share for the first time. I've used Linux for years. Here's why I think it's finally catching on with more people.
Besides the backported bullshit from windows 10 (which could be removed, admittedly, you’d have to know it was there, and which package to uninstall…so not exactly newbie friendly), what was hostile about windows 7?
I used it from release day until EOL and I found it to be the best version of windows ever and the pinnacle of the platform, before it started taking a hard drive with Windows 8 and fell off the cliff with 10/11.
Windows 10/11 is why I’m on linux now, and on linux to stay.

“Activation,” same as XP and Vista. That’s why I said 2000 was the last “good” version with no hostile features at all: it was the last version (except for ME, which wasn’t “good”) that didn’t require activation.
