Linux developers see the death of Windows 7 support as a huge opportunity and are now openly chasing new users.
Windows 7 has officially reached its end free their support, so users using it have four options to choose from: to pay for Windows 7 support extension stay safe, stay with Windows 7 and face obvious security risks, to Upgrade to Newer Windows | or migrate to a non-Windows platform.
As for the latter option, the creators of Linux know how great this opportunity is, and so they have begun to hunt down Windows 7 users, in an effort to increase their installation base.
Post the Canonical and of Lite With their advertisements trying to entice Windows 7 users to install Ubuntu, several Korean companies that have developed their own Linux distributions have launched similar campaigns that are supposed to persuade Microsoft customers to take the big step.

Whether these efforts will prove successful will be seen in the near future, from the counts of globally installed operating systems, but for now, it 's pretty clear that the collapse of Windows 7 support is a great opportunity for everyone in the OS world to attract more users.
However, a mass migration is still unlikely, mainly because a significant number of Windows users would rather stick with Windows to keep the familiar screen environment and Windows operation.
