    Different needs, different hardware, different skill levels. My kindergarten kids used it for 2 years for school, no problem. I still don’t use it because its too rough for my advanced needs.

      Linux runs circles around Windows in terms of privacy, security, control, customizaton, and DE workflows and efficiencies… so what advanced needs keep you from using it? I’m genuinely curious because Linux is far more advanced than Windows in basically every single way I can think of… I can’t think of any reason I would prefer to use Windows over Linux. The only problem Linux suffers is from software support, so if you are in an industry with software that doesn’t support it… well then, yeah, you have to use Windows. Or if you want to play a game with anticheat… and you are okay with installing what is essentially a rootkit on your computer, then yeah, Windows.

      Yeah, Windows is way too limited for anyone with advanced needs. Every time I boot into Windows it feels like I’m wearing 10lb sandbags on my legs and wading through 3 feet of shit… whereas in Linux I can make my computer sing without my hands ever leaving the keyboard, but that’s because Linux is more customizable and offers more control over it.
