Too bad Linux still can't offer a desktop alternative that is widely acceptable.

Well, yes it can. But the choice of Desktop whether that be Linux, MacOS or Windows is just a matter of familiarisation.

I have the exact opposite view to you: "Too bad Windows still can't offer a desktop alternative that is widely acceptable." but that is because I have been using a Linux Desktop for over 20 years. I've been using the LinuxMint MATE Desktop for about 10-11 years.

If you feel happy with Windows, stick with it. It's your machine, and your choice.

I haven’t used Windows in over a decade and hate it but if you think Windows is not widely accepted for desktop users on planet Earth while Linux is, you live in an alternate reality.

If you think Windows 11 is 'widely acceptable' then let's agree to differ. <grin>
