Well its pretty hard to compete with local factories if they can produce it with significantly lower costs due to terrible worker conditions and child labor

I have really enjoyed my switch to linux. I chose mint for ease of use and all in all it was really doable and man I love Linux. I have switched a month ago and going back to a windows device already feels like a horrible experience. All the pop ups, the feeling of helplessness that you feel when your Windows breaks and it fact makes your system so damn slow. I am a computer science student tho so I have a fair bit of affinity with tech and don't mind tinkering with my OS. Which made switching a breeze but im confident that anyone with google and a bit of free time can switch. Cannot recommend switching more :)
