Maybe not understand it, but at least they’re able to use it competantly.
That being said, the main reason most millenials I know havn’t hopped to linux is because they don’t know about it, they have software that prevents them from using it or don’t have the time to set it up (I get its quick and easier now, but it still takes time(.
Pretty sure the only Cobol programmers left at this point are Gen X and older.
People are still on Windows because of massive industry momentum, and as the developers shift from being mostly Gen X and older millennials, to younger millennials and Gen z, things are getting progressively shittier. And it’s not only due to c-suite driven enshitification.

The funny thing is that we’ve got a ton of legacy hardware that still runs it, mostly in the public sector. But since GenX/Millennials avoided public jobs like the plague, what we’re seeing now are Boomers left to teach it to the incoming ranks of GenZs who can’t get a job in the dying Silicon Valley sector.
If GenX/Millennials properly understood technology, they wouldn’t all be on Windows.
By that metric the only generations that properly understand technology are gen alpha and boomers, since they’re the most likely to just own a phone and/or tablet and no windows desktop or laptop.
Trying to explain to a GenXer what Cobol is and to a Millennial what a Ring Light is and its practically impossible.
This meme is just ForwardsFromGeandma minus the 😂🤣😂🤣 emojis. If GenX/Millennials properly understood technology, they wouldn’t all be on Windows.

And just like that, Gen X disappeared from existence
Ain’t nobody don’t know what a fuckin’ ring light is.
The Xbox would give red ones of death. 😤

I’m in the middle of Gen X.
I had a class in college that was centered on COBOL.
I certainly wouldn’t need anyone to explain to what it is.
