What? I call my computer a PC and I run Linux. My friends know I use Linux and they don't get confused when I call my device a PC. As far as I know, "PC" refers to a personal desktop computer and does not depend on the OS.

It could just be me, but when someone says "PC" I don't necessarily think of a Windows computer, I just think of a computer.
