My parents are now using Zorin os because it feels like Windows, and they don’t even know it’s not windows. For the vast majority of people who only use a browser it’s a no brainer to switch.
Yeah, I had this realization a couple of years ago when I switched as well… I felt like “this is what personal computing was always supposed to be like before capitalism had its way.”

I got PopOS a month ago and its freaking awesome
Welcome! Switched 2 years ago, never looked back
