Well....to add my two cents....I have been a Windows Admin since Windows 95....right up until now....and I can say with no prejudice that the few users who run Linux in the office call maybe once every four to five months with issues.....whereas the majority of the Windows users call CONSTANTLY with issues ranging from viruses...to programs that just DON'T WORK. If I could....I would flip the entire COMPANY over to Linux! I've been tinkering with Linux now at home for only a few years....but I haven't gone back to Windows since then....bottom line.....those who know......KNOW! If you're happy using Windows....stick with it....and then come see a Linux guru when you've had enough!

My sons are adults and they maintain their own computers and phones. My
mother uses Win 7 and in 4+ years has never broken it one.

She use Firefox, Thunderbird, Libreoffice, Skype, and some program that
I can not remember the name of that makes really complicated sewing
patterns and stuff. As well as several other programs. She watches
videos. Plays music. Streaming TV and movies. I fix nothing.

IMHO? Use what works.
