It’s only been the last couple of years that Linux has become more Windows like, much easier to use and has more driver hardware support. The latest Linux has over 20-million lines of code and was worked on by over 14,000 programmers.
Linux is the best — my old beater laptop would probably be in the dump right now. Four years ago it was starting to throw errors and BSODs. I installed Linux on it and it has worked flawlessly ever since. Looks beaten and battered. I even had to replace the keyboard and of course the battery which I will probably have to replace again, soon.
