Hi
When I can get an operating system that I can install all of my software and games in, and run it with no messing around, running it in VM, or having to buy a special version, then I'll consider another OS.
But I don't want to have to buy a Linux version, or an Apple version for that matter.
Windows works fine if you have a solid computer, I haven't had a serious crash in years, and very few bugs.
Even Windows 10 is running fine except for a few glitches.
Pretty much every problem I've had in the last 10 years I caused myself.
There are issues that go along with having an operating system that has to run on 90% of the worlds computers.
It has to work on everything from a high end gaming computer like mine to a $300 dollar laptop.
Even something that someone pasted together out of mismatched used parts.
The fact that it will do that is pretty amazing.
Apple OSes run on 7.05% (mostly made by Apple) of the worlds computers, Linux on 1.4%, Other, whatever that is runs on 1.7%, and Windows runs on pretty much all the others.
53% of the worlds computers run Windows 7!
In spite of that vast majority, Microsoft hasn't tried to force us to use only Microsoft applications, as Apple does, or deleted our music from our music player because we didn't buy the music files from them.
It's going to be a long time until someone comes along who has an operating system that can replace Windows.
The fact is, that people who don't screw up their computers have very few problems.
My wife knows nothing about her computer, but it never fails to work, because she doesn't mess with it.
It just chugs away year after year until the hardware fails. and then she buys a new one.
