I have a nagging feeling the general public does not hate Microsoft as much as computer nerds do and so probably overall their image is muddled to not that bad overall.

I believe Windows 11 and "AI everywhere" are quickly changing that. Gamers started migrating, but I believe the stats showing a growing usage of Linux on desktop as well as resistance to the Win11 migration go beyond the gamers.

But I admit: a survey right now may not yet show it. It's probably trending up slowly.
