Some people use Linux but don’t mind about Microsoft
Ex: a lot of people in computer science
I noticed a lot of students use Linux for their studies because in CS we pretty much only use Linux, but they run Windows at home or they solely run Linux for studying so they don’t care about the rest
They would’ve stayed with Windows if it provided the same features and full compatibility
As a somewhat side fact, most of Microsoft’s own cloud services are running on Linux. This fact nudges me to believe the opposite of your conclusion. That is to say, changing your OS doesn’t necessarily change the software you use.
That said, I would be very surprised if Microsoft’s cloud offerings were as popular among Linus users.
awesome!
I’m curious as to how much profit is lost by M$ or Apple for each basis point of the market that switches to Linux.
They make more on cloud servers than as operating systems nowadays.
I’ve read the same thing but I’ll bet a dollar that no one using Linux is paying for any Microsoft cloud services.

That would essentially mean the only reason to use Linux over Windows is ideological opposition to Microsoft, which is sheer nonsense.
