Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.
This was because I always compared them to Apple.
So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.
Linux will simply take over, eventually. It takes constant effort to keep a less efficient, costly, closed source software on every single device. Linux can already run %99+ of windows applications through wine, proton, steam, winboat and many other compatability layers, and with user friendly OS like linuxmint and ZorinOS making it easier to transition, within the next decade I reckon Linux will have %20+ of the marketshare. Every blunder microsoft makes like: advancing AI, cutting support for windows 10 linux wins by doing none of that.
