If enough people at a job complain about Windows, they’ll deploy Linux. Or at least Mac. IT people for Linux can usually manage several times the machines IT people for Windows can.
Hell the US military is using Ubuntu desktop, you can request it over windows, windows is the default though. Imagine the savings in electricity and licensing when getting rid or reducing windows usage.
You don’t think anyone would deploy Linux if 100% of employees wanted it over Windows? It only took about 10% (based on how many people I saw using it) at LinkedIn before they started offering it. Admittedly, that’s a tech company, but it’s also owned by Microsoft, and they still let us use Linux. And that was in ~2018, when Windows wasn’t that bad.
I know from experience. Moving to Mac is more likely, but that comes with higher costs. And most non-tech people are deep in the M$ Office/365 and even Windows tends to be too complicated for them. Many of them can’t even follow two picture instructions, let alone move to another OS.

No, they won’t. Maybe in small shops with only people who are advanced users and don’t need/develop software for Windows. The rest is fantasy.
