Most people will install Windows 11, complain about it, complain about the lack of Windows alternatives, then get offended and spam downvote anyone who mentions an alternative.
This pretty much sums up the pcmasterrace community and i ended up leaving because of it.
Most people will buy a computer, that computer will have Windows 11 on it, they'll start using that computer and the pre-installed OS that came with it, and maybe, occasionally, they will complain that "this is different now" and that "they always change things, it's so annoying" and that will be the end of it.
If you're talking about people who install or even just upgrade the OS on their computer by themselves, are aware of such a concept as "alternative operating systems," engage in any kind of conversation about operating systems on social media, and then care enough about the topic to downvote people who disagree with them on purely ideological grounds, you're already talking about a tiny, tiny minority of computer users.
As tech illiterate as people are they also love complaining. Mostly complaining that Microsoft has a monopoly over computing. They generally don't know what an OS is as you said but will still complain. Of course since they don't know much telling them anything will get them offended as they feel that their intelligence was questioned.
I have never see a tech illiterate person complain that Microsoft has a monopoly over computing.
My grandma thought it was a duopoly until I explained that clouds are made of penguins.
