Unfortunately, Linux will never gain any meaningful market share in the desktop market. Every Linux distro is hostile to their users in some way. I am saying this as a person who actively dislikes windows. Over the years I have tried many Linux distro and none of them is good enough. 1. The Ubuntu fails to wake after sleep (none of the online solution worked for me) 2. I installed openSUSE, but I tried to browse their forums for an issue, I learned that their forum is blocked in my country. Went back to Ubuntu in a few hours. 3. Fedora was very good for a time, wine worked without any tinkering, but the latest update to 37 made my system very slow. Flatpak was not working. It also had issues working with Nvidia drivers. 4. Even tried Arch Linux (you can guess, how that went).

On the other hand, Microsoft is doing everything to appease their users. The Excel software have a bug to maintain backward compatibility. I won't recommend any Windows users to switch to Linux.
