Maybe it’s a work computer and it’s not their choice.
Than complain to IT, not to me.
Maybe they’re not a computer toucher and do not have confidence touching computers.
When someone tells you to install Linux and reply that you don’t know how, they’re often willing to help.
Maybe they were perfectly happy using these OSs before some stupid new feature was introduced.
That is a perfect reason why they didn’t have to use Linux, but do have to use it now.
Maybe they’re tired or stressed or have no time.
In that case, they’re probably not a gamer, which is the best reason not to switch to Linux. Also, when you buy a new computer, it is probably faster and less stressful to install Linux, than Windows 11 (assuming you want a usable win11, with most spyware disabled).
I’m not going to complain to IT for a company policy change that essentially bricks my computer since it won’t be able to use the company software anymore.
And they are not complaining to you, they are complaining to the internet.
If your only answer is “use Linux” then keep that dumb option to yourself.
Unless you enjoy getting answers to change to Windows every time you complain about some driver breaking on Linux. But I doubt you do.
