None of what you listed is a viable alternative for a myriad of reasons. Only GNU+Linux can replace Windows.

  • Android: a mobile OS first and foremost with very limited usability as a general purpose desktop operating system.
  • MacOS: hardware from one vendor only.
  • *BSD: more niche with even lesser support than GNU+Linux.

    What's wrong with going back to pen and (e-)paper for office? My point is, if you are going to post something in the community, the word "linux" shall at least be in the title.

    Good title example: Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft for Linux

    It's nobody's fucking business when someone ditching Microsoft, then adopt BSD, Solaris whatnot. What matters to this community is someone adopting or ditching Linux, or they do something remotely related to it.

    Didn't you see the "little" thumbnail that says "This could be huge for Linux"?

    I don't. This is how it looks like on my Voyager.

    Point is (again), it takes zero effort to cross post a video or article here. Windows is historically having a high market share ratio, and people are migrating to Linux nowadays. That's good news to the Linux world. Even someone merely mentioning ditching Windows has an implication of adopting Linux instead.

    But what if more and more posts implying this by only mentioning how bad Windows is? Is this a community for Windows circlejerk, or do we share informative stuff that's directly related to Linux? How about we share more article about how great Linux is (or can be), instead of how bad the competitors are becoming?
