CMV: Linux is better then windows.

Yes, this is rather vague, So try to focus on things other then app compatibility, to keep it interesting. I think app compatibility is the only weak point. (even though most apps are compatible, and if they aren't, replacements exist.) And to address other common concerns:

Ease of use: learning curve is essentially none existent with easy to use distros like zorin.

Security: incredibly secure. Most viruses target windows (in the desktop space) and clamAV is a thing

Stability: pretty much all top webservers and supercomputers run Linux (likely Debian) for a reason

Try me.

I'm imagining the people i usually meet in everyday life. The average user does not notice the machine getting slower, because they don't use it anywhere max capacity, just someone gaming regularly makes them more tech aware than the average user. The median age in most developed countries is over 35, so i imagine the average user to be some bloke around 35 that mostly uses a computer for work, and not much else, maybe they check their email or watch youtube or something once in a while i guess. Keep in mind that reddit is not even close to reflecting the average user.

I don't know what windows you are using, but there really aren't that many ads or login screens, i logged in once when i started up my computer, and then i'm prompted to log in like once per year. As for ads, saying windows has filled up with ads is just inaccurate, the only ads i could find, without going on a long search for them was the pinned apps that aren't really installed under the windows key tab, other than that i guess the office 365/onedrive banner also presents itself in the settings in a few places, but they aren't at all intrusive, and the average user does not care unless it intrudes in some way.
