              What other browsers are implementing this? It's the first I've heard of it.

                Until Macs become cheaper or Linux becomes easier, Windows will remain the largest OS.

                    What's easier in Windows compared to Linux? Except the fact that you have to install it, since it doesn't come preinstalled on as many PCs. But many people who think Windows is easy would probably still consider installing it difficult.

                              Doing anything requires the memorization of thousands of commands that must be formatted perfectly and are specific to your distribution, into a black box that rarely provides any feedback at all, and when it does it's extremely generic.

                              I'm sure my inbox will be blown up by delusional people claiming you don't need it but it's just not true.

                              The simple act of installing software is crazy complicated and different on every distro.

                              My current distro has 2 separate system update apps and I don't really know how to use either of them, nor do I understand why I need to use them at all. Why does the system need me to click buttons to make it go? Just do it in the background. Then as soon as it's done I get another popup 3 minutes later saying another package needs to be updated.

                              Hardware compatibility is a huge problem, fingerprint readers, WiFi, facial recognition, Bluetooth, etc. etc. Very few companies make computers with Linux compatibility being considered at all. Everything will have drivers day 1 on Windows and then they'll trickle down to Linux a year or two later.

                              Nvidia GPUs are by far and away the most popular and they're still very painful to use. And even though that's entirely Nvidia's fault, the problem remains.

                              I dislike Linux the least but there's no way I could recommend it to anyone who isn't a giant nerd who likes fixing computers.

                                  I don’t use Linux except on my steamdeck and even I know there are a bunch of distros that look and act (minus lots of the bad stuff) just like windows

                                    Running Linux would block this feature too.

                                    Just reason sayin.

                                        Sadly, quite a few things. Here's a few:

                                        • Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
                                        • One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
                                        • Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
                                        • Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
                                        • Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
                                        • Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn't always an out-of-the-box experience
                                        • Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.

                                        Don't get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.
