    Pretty sure the drop had more to do with PC price increases from the AI-driven component shortages than the quality of Windows.

      Hardware prices are particularily problematic for Window users who need to buy a new computer because Windows 11 is not compatible with their not-so-old computers.

      Price too high so people building pcs chose to save $130 or whatever the fuck it costs now

      Also linux just straight up works better in every conceivable way for my purposes
