    That’s actually a decent idea if people are using boilerplate windows software. Unfortunately institutional software is unlikely to cross over, and even if similar software can be found to replace private users’ needs, there is going to be resistance to change. This doesn’t even touch anyone using specialized software. The resistance will be commensurate with the differences in workflow and usage between the windows and Linux software.

    I mean, the whole point is people don’t want to change. The only way you’d win people over easily is directly cloning their windows setup.

      And there’s a cost to that change. Reduced performance. Could easily be measured in lost $ or increased costs.
