I'm in Year 23 of 'Linux on the Desktop'.

I use Windows for just one job: Multi-Page scanning of documents using HP's Software for my HP Multi-Function-Printer. And even then it's Windows 7 as a guest in VirtualBox on that Linux Desktop.

My Year 1 of 'Linux on the Desktop' was my Year 10 of 'Unix on the Desktop'. I've never had a 'Year of Windows on the Desktop'

you are missing out then.

I don't think so.

Of course, YMMV.

I'm not an advocate for Linux use for other people. (Like I was about 20 years ago.) If they insist on Windows or a Mac, that's not my concern at all.

I often liken it to choice of brand of motor car I drive. I prefer to drive a Mercedes and have done for about 20 years. If other people want to drive a BMW or a Ford or a Chev, that's no concern of mine either.
