43 % sounds like a very high percentage, though! I wonder how many of those 43 % will really make the switch. Because if they really do, that's an earth-shattering indication!

I feel like there’s no way this is true, maybe it’s more likely for people who are going to switch to answer the survey and the others just skip it?

I personally think this stat is maybe a bit too high. Just maybe. But! I have successfully converted my small gaming coven to Linux so maybe it’s not entirely impossible either.
