If it really was less effort to move to Linux, a majority of people would have already.
Oh yeah, because the customer is always perfectly knowledgeable and rational. People absolutely never spend more money to get an inferior product.
Have you tried Linux recently (or at all)? Most distros hold your hand. If anything, most of them hold your hand more than Windows. The installation is very easy, and it doesn't bug you with a Microsoft account, MS Office, or One Cloud. It's not trying to sell you a bunch of shit you don't need because it's not profiting off of you. You just select what drive you want to install it on (assuming you have an empty one) and let it do it's thing, and you're done.
