> Much as the gap between Windows and MacOS has narrrowed in recent years

Except that it hasn't - if anything, it has widened with Windows 10 being such a massive dumpster fire. And most computer users have no idea that you can wipe Windows 10 completely if you want, and run a free Linux distro on your PC.

It's really a matter of opinion, not ignorance.

I run macOS, Windows and Linux on a daily basis, and find macOS and Windows very much equivalent in use. (Linux less so for my particular use, I find Linux desktop environments ugly, so I'm CLI only.)

Most users are also unaware that they can collect used cooking oil from local restaurants to use in their diesel cars.

Desktop Linux is still a dumpster fire depending on what you want to do

Of course, that “dumpster fire” has 50 times as many users as all Linux distros combined.
