Windows runs everything mainstream users actually need鈥攇ames, Office, Adobe, random work software鈥攚ithout forcing them to Google terminal commands every time a printer acts up.
Windows is the obvious pick for mainstream users: it runs the apps, games, and hardware people actually buy. Linux is great for tinkerers, not the average laptop owner.
Windows plays every game and runs every app out of the box without requiring a computer science degree. Mainstream users just want their tech to work, so leave Linux to the nerds.
Windows for mainstream users. It runs every app and game without the driver headaches or software gaps that plague Linux.
