To most people the OS is the computer. If Microsoft was extremely mismanaged, they’d probably buy a new Windows 11 computer first. After failing that they’d need someone they know to boot them into Linux with a live-boot USB.

I think the level of mismanagement required for that to happen is probably unrealistic. It’d need to be on the level that people would switch back to Windows 10 en-mass and Microsoft would definitely notice that.
