  • Linux does not do 100% of the things I can readily do on Windows.

    I would know, I’ve been on and off Linux for many years. My first introduction of using Linux was Ubuntu Dapper Drake in 2006. I’ve tried Kubuntu. I’ve tried Xubuntu. I’ve tried Crunchbang Linux (which ended up being my favorite distro of them all). I’ve tried Mint. I’ve tried Puppy Linux. I’ve tried Bhodi Linux.

    And while Linux has grown quite considerably and more user-friendly since those days, it still does not do everything I can do in Windows. There are tools I have, that work better or just only work on Windows. There are games I play, that some of them will only work on Windows. There are just things with Linux that I do not have the patience for, like figuring out repositories from depositories, having to manually update through terminal, having to make sure everything that I could use that is cross-platform and compatible with Linux is working. Having to make sure there’s enough documentation out there of a piece of software for Linux that can be used.

    I am simply just not the kind of user Linux would ask of me and I’m not going to go full on Linux just for cheap brownie points at the expense of my time and patience. Microsoft still has not once gotten a dime from me over the years to pay for a full OS of theirs, that OS will continue to be pirated from me and I will always buy a computer second hand that will have the latest Windows OS. That is pretty much that.

    The only times Linux is ever in use from me is when I put it on a laptop and that’s it. It is never coming close to my main desktop use.
