    Yeah, because Linux is a genuinely unpleasant OS to use for anything but ridiculously limited tasks. Windows is preferable in almost all cases.

        Unfortunately, yes it’s Android Linux, since my Windows Phone device stopped working, I have been all but forced into using a linux device if I want to make phone calls. I’ve debated on going back to a “feature phone” to avoid it, but those are all Java based, so that’s almost worse on its own. And since the easiest tablet to watch YouTube videos on is BSD iOS, I have one of them too. If the Surface was more suited to that purpose, I would switch immediately.

        My primary daily computers are both Windows as a main OS. One of them multi-boots Windows 7 32-bit, DR-DOS 7, and ReactOS. On the other, it’s Win10x64, but I usually jump straight into DOSBox-X or my Windows Me VM/emulator if I’m not doing anything important and modern.

      Linux is for industrial/professional work. Windows is for consumers.

      Ironically it’s always industry folks who think consumers are idiots for using windows and not ‘learning’ Linux/Unix.

        I feel that setting up and administering Linux is still out of reach for most people. But for day to day use? Considering most of that is web browsing? It’s totally there.

        I’m actually kinda astonished at how polished the GNOME desktop environment is
