    The vast majority of people use a web browser, an office suite, an image viewer, a video player, and maybe some games. They’ll use whatever OS came free with the machine, or whatever they can get a friend / relative to install for them.

      Most people have at least one other app that most people don’t use, that they use religiously, and has little UI foibles they don’t want to change. For some, it’s a native-app E-mail client they’re familiar with where they have 20-year-old messages backed up. For others, it’s a photo management app.

      It often doesn’t matter if AltWinMintbuntuXYZ has those capabilities. If it doesn’t handle them in the exact same way, it’s an anxiety-producing shift.

      whatever they can get a friend / relative to install for them.

      This is a fairly rare amount of adventurism. Unless the computer won’t come up anymore and a friend/relative will fix it for free.

        It usually happens when they buy from a respectable company, so the machine doesn’t come with a free (pirated) Windows preinstalled.
