They already are.

Folks who haven't moved yet are luddites.

    Hey, some of us are trying to do a huge server migration before we switch so that we can make sure all of our stuff is backed up properly.

    I can't wait to go back, especially since proton is so much better.

    Hopefully my Nvidia card doesn't suck too bad.

    Or business. The standard is Office and it’s file formats. Open source equivalents still don’t quite have the same compatibility. Everyone expects office files to get shared.

    FOSS alternatives like LibreOffice are completely compatible with MS Office file formats.

    I use LibreOffice at a medium size company where everyone else uses MS Office. Not a single issue.
