Let's hope it goes better than Munich's attempt in the early 2000s

    It has been going fairly well as I understand it, it also helps that they are actually putting money behind it.

    And maybe that Linux now is easier to use than windows.

    That's been the case for at least a decade. Windows 10's absolutely disjointed UI was the final nail in the coffin, to adjust settings on a joystick I found myself in 3 different styles of window, with the one I wanted dating back to Windows 95's design.

    I wouldn't say that, because user experience has been heavily on windows usage for most people, so to change, you need a better system for yourself, which means relearning things has to alleviate the cost of all that "I know windows quirks already" stuff. And that started happened maybe 5 years ago.

    Or so I think.
