A good reason why I don't want to "get" Linux is this guy posted in this thread with Linux as his example, and it's the most replied to thread with each user trying to justify their distro.

This is like me going into a bible belt small town, expressing my spiritual beliefs, and watching as each of the individual churches try to try and "save" me.

Until Linux users "get" why Windows is the marketshare leader and not demonize it like the spawn of Satan when it's literally just an OS on a completely optional piece of hardware, I don't think I'll ever "get" Linux.

Though I do care very much for Android if that counts. ๐Ÿ˜‰

You don't have to tell people you use Linux or talk to them about it. I know that because I use Zorin OS, which is a really modern feeling Linux distro with a slick user interface, that's perfect for people like you and I, who don't want to be bombarded with opinions on the "right" operating system and just want to use their computers in peace. You should totally switch!
