i would say, software exists too
Fair enough but have you tried running GCC on windows? Or perhaps videogames on Mac (according to non Linux users that I know both of those are a real pain)
To be fair I had some trouble running some apps on Wayland at first but now it's only a couple of games (which run fine on X11)
i can’t believe i am explaining this but there is a lot of diversity in the computing world and most people will never need to run GCC in their lives
I've tried compiling C on windows in vscode in the meantime and I gave up and switched to a GitHub codespace to use GCC and cross compiled for Windows, then had to download an extra dll for a library and put it in the folder with the exe and it's massive I believe it was like 1.4mb instead of 30kb on Linux. I've got all of the games that I want running on Wayland now too while on windows I still can't run a tiling window manager or change keybinds for moving around windows.
If you were just talking about how most non programmers will find a way to compile C natively on windows rather than switch OS, fair enough. I'm also sure windows has more desktop apps available but there's plenty of useful tools on Linux that don't run on windows or don't integrate into system components (have you ever extracted a tarball in windows explorer? tar ships with windows but it's terminal only) and nobody (other than ms) is allowed to change the last part (to my knowledge, I'm not a lawyer and haven't read all of the windows EULA but I think it would fall under reverse engineering).
If you are not a programmer and don't care enough about your privacy to learn about a new system and you don't care about customizability too much you're probably best off macos (seems to be compatible with more none games and customization tools) or windows which is hideously expensive unless you know where to get it and then you still get spied on and receive ads (not sure whether Macos does that).
