Another twenty plus years Linux server and devices admin and user that found last year that Linux is finally mature and stable enough to replace my desktop too without having the fiddle with it every once in a random update. It was a decision that I can accept making workarounds for legacy windows software and l can live without other eco system. Yeah, there are plenty of reasons that people are still running Windows and keep doing so.
Don't make being user of an operating system your identity, people. It's just as annoying and unnecessary as those Apple fanboys we all know and dislike.
Exactly. I've been Linux exclusive for something like 15 years, and I'm usually the first to tell people to stick with Windows if there's even one piece of software they say they'll miss. If they really want to use Linux, they'll ignore me. If they would've bailed when something didn't work perfectly, they would likely write it off and never try it again, so it's better to leave that door open IMO.
