@delores My situation is basically the same: I don't deny windows is crap in many areas, and linux gives a lot of liberty windoes doesn't. But I built this computer specifically for games, and I use it for that, browsing, and chatting, often all at the same time. Linux has some games too, but not nearly as many and most AAA titles never make it there, and if I intended to limit myself to a small selection mostly composed of older games and indies, I wouldn't have spent $1200 on it. Windows offers me more ease and flexibility for the use I give the computer. If I wanted to do other things where linux is useful, I would migrate, but I don't. It's just not practical for me to switch. And in regards to errors, I get a minor one every few months, which I fix in an hour or two. It's nothing that keeps me awake at night. Sure, between windows 8 or windows 10 and linux, I'd pick linux, but as long as I can run 7 I have no reason to switch.
