I was thinking the opposite way. Even being cut off, Windows users won’t convert to Linux. They’ll either buy a new computer, stay on an old version of Windows for years and years and keep re-installing it, or some other such.

There are work-arounds starting to be discovered, and even though Linux is much easier to install than any of the workarounds, the workarounds are what most people will choose.

I wish it were the reverse, this would be an easy way to hit Big Tech, but that’s what it is.

As more services take to “the cloud”, and as more services become inter-operative, Free & Open Source is becoming more powerful - not less so. It frees up the end-user to start using more Free & Open Source clients, which they own and control.
