Microsoft might just be planning to make the next generation of Windows a cloud-based, subscription service. While we have already had evidence of the former, fresh new leak hints at the latter too.

You are tech heavy user.
I have spent enough time with Linux (my fav distro used to be Slackware), and it's not ready for general consumption.
I would disagree. There are distros out there that make it so easy. Especially with flatpak. I think it's not 100% user friendly, but neither is windows. If you can't use Mint Cinnamon, you probably can't use windows well either. That means you're just using the web, email, and office for the most part anyway. With package manager gui interfaces, it's easier to find things with Linux than windows. I think I could show my grandma Linux more easily than windows nowadays. A normal user will get around without ever having to think about PPAs or anything like that.
