    1. @darmawanz For most people it's because of the games. For some it's the availability of artistic software they are familiar with (be it drawing, music composition, or video production).

      1. @toksyuryel I'd say it's the familiarity with all apps and desktop for the most ppl, not games. For others it's vendor lock-in.

    3. @chibiterasu They have the potential to be. You still have to know what you're doing and put in the effort to make them secure, but they actually give you the tools you need to do so. Simply assuming it's just inherently more secure and you don't have to do anything is a good way to get sensitive information stolen or your machine hijacked.

    4. @darmawanz What about those who have hardware with no / non-optimal Linux support? What about those who need SW like AutoCAD or Adobe CS?
