Thought it would be fun to make a topic about, all of our experiences with all the people, who doesn't really understand all the tech.
Note: Don't make this too harsh on them. You need to help them, not yell at them.
I'll go first:
So my mom has a daycare. And one day I am sitting on the floor with my laptop. And one of the kids, with real dirty hands come and put his hand on the screen. Guess he thought it was a touch screen. Still haven't gotten it off, and it was 3 months ago.
My grandmother is scared of getting rid of the computer, because she thinks it will cut the power to her house.

Keep in mind that enthusiasts on tech forums are not the majority. Anyone that doesn't already have an interest in linux isn't just going to switch over because it's free. to them it's an unknown OS that they haven't heard of before and have no familiarity with how it works, might as well be created by the chinese government for all they care. So most people are going to stay on windows because it's what they know and they trust Microsoft (regardless of your own personal opinions on the matter).
Even if every game and every program i use was available on Linux (and i mean native, not WINE or Proton), i would still likely be on Windows because it's had a much longer period of optimization and driver support and it's what i know. If something goes wrong i'll likely have a good idea how to fix it. if something goes wrong on Linux the general solution is "go to terminal and type in the below elvish, it will fix it, i'm not going to tell you what else it does, just trust me"
