You couldn't pay me to move to Linux.
Why?
Linux Bros are the most intolerable group of technousers on the internet. The constant bickering at literally every OS outside of Linux and then the endless bitching inside of it about which distro you should use. Then there's the fact that Linux is not remotely intuitive to use and everytime I've tried to switch in the past just requires constant searching of obscure forums to get the information that I need on how to run what I'm trying to, only to be met with the same whiny bullshit about using the wrong distro or not doing something the right way.
The OS is a nightmare to use for people who don't want to have to learn everything over from scratch, something that Linux users seem incapable of grasping, and the people using it have never once made me feel like I am welcome to using it but that I should avoid them at all costs.
That's why you couldn't pay me. Because then I'd have to be dealing with sycophants.
Thanks for the honest explanation.
