I think there are more happy linux users than windows users in the world.
Most if not all windows users just "tolerate it" but that's far from appreciating it. It's a burden that they learned how to handle.

Nostr relays and Devs might find themselves in legal trouble anyway, due to the general legal crackdowns on internet requiring age proof and id on websites obstensively to protect kids.
