Smells like Microsoft air in here... A bit stale, dirty, corporate vibe.

Windows users have no idea what they are missing out on by avoiding Linux.

On one hand, eff Microsoft and install Debian. It'll run on a potato.

On the other hand, I look forward to the coming glut of secondhand PCs I can install Debian on.

I think we're gonna see a dramatic rise in Linux systems in the coming years if Microsoft keeps this course. Nvidia have started upping their Linux driver game as well so it's gonna be a breeze to pick up decent second hand systems and reselling them with a proper OS that'll take us to the end of the world in 24 years.
