Look, I love Linux for what it is, but this is stupid.For one, what reasonably tech savvy person pays for anti-virus?More importantly, don't pretend like you haven't invested hours upon hours troubleshooting and figuring out how to do something in Linux. That's obviously a cost of using the system unless you consider your time worthless.Like I said, Linux is great, and a lot of the time spent digging through .confs, Linux community forums, and archaic documentation is paid back in a deeper understanding of computers and making your system do things that are simply not possible in Windows without third-party software. That's worth something, but if you're going to qualify all of that as a POSITIVE for Linux then it seems remiss, if not plainly unfair, to dismiss the upfront approachability, familiarity, and unrivaled vendor support of Windows.Honestly, the last thing the Linux image needs is more holier-than-thou voices like your own declaring that it's the best OS hands down with absolutely no trade-offs worth mentioning.
