4% is probably about right

I'm am a retired old bloke who has used linux for about 20 years since the early releases of ubuntu and linux mint.

I do my best to advise and promote linux to all my elderly friends and have even installed linux as a replacement to windows for a few of them. Once they get used to Linux they are forever smitten. The increased speed and ease of use is nothing like windows complexity.

Even I struggle with windows, that damn search box, what is that really about but to confuse. Windows is supposed to be a personal computer not a time travelling machine, so whats the issue with updates taking a millennium. I got better things to do than wait for that unnecessary waste of time.

It must be brainwashing and propaganda that convinces people that a windows machines are better in some way.

I watch my friends struggling with their windows data collecting machines and I cry inside.

My old life is so much easier, restful, stress free and I have more pension to spend on myself.

Free as in Freedom, too cool!
