I can never understand how anyone with an interest in tech hasn't switched to Linux for their personal desktop/laptop at some point in the last 20+ years.

Why would you want to use a closed source OS controlled by a corporation with a past as checkered as Microsoft's?

I’ll tell you why I still use a Mac: it’s because my non-techie wife still uses one. Even then I still have to provide her with regular tech support. For someone like her using Linux is not yet a viable option.

My 75 years old mother can do it completely unassisted…

That’s great but I think that says more about your mother than it does about Linux.

Yes I'm sure that a lifetime of teaching literature prepared her to use linux better than average.
