What would the purpose of that be? Why so much effort to increase "market share" of something that is not for sale. The entire concept of "switching" is weird because you don't have to legally declare your operating system. You can choose to use all of them.

I see your point, but I think a collaborative feedback initiative could really help improve the Linux ecosystem. While each distro has its own identity, gathering insights on why users revert to Windows could highlight common pain points that many distros face. This isn’t about pushing for uniformity; it’s about sharing knowledge that could help each distro enhance its offerings. Plus, collaboration could attract more developers and showcase the strengths of Linux as a whole. Ultimately, it’s about making Linux more appealing and accessible, benefiting everyone in the community—whether they’re new users or seasoned veterans.
