I didn't notice or care about their comment, it was meaningless bs. Yours is something for which it's feasible to provide evidence, it's a novel claim, and I saw nothing to back it up other than hostility.

That the switch to linux has a lot of friction? That it's difficult?

Everyone mostly agrees on this, not interesting. Also you didn't even directly claim this in your post, so obviously I wasn't asking about this. You're just seemingly using this hostile badgering approach to stifle the conversation.

That Microsoft has deliberately cultivated that friction?

This is the interesting claim. After all Linux deliberately shoots its legs off every few years, why does Microsoft need to help?
