I use both windows and linux on a daily basis.
While its true that the beginner distros like Mint equal or exceed Windows in ease of use for ordinary situations the second you stray a foot off the beaten path you are in for a wild ride. Picture hours trying to find a way to pin an icon to the taskbar. Linux is still essentially a command line with a gui pasted on top and the philosophy of the system and the mentality of the people that help you will be oriented toward going down the rabbit hole of obtuse man pages and spools of arcane commands.
Genuine advantages Linux does have compared to windows imclude freedom from its ecosystem and spying and greater power and compatibility with programs for more technical use cases. You might not be able to game as much in Linux but if you need to use certain technical or scientific programs its often the only game in town.
Now in terms of politics Microsoft and Linux honchos both promulgate the soc jus cult mentality so they seem about equal in that respect.
My main desktop is a Mac. I have a MBP, another desktop mac for a studio machine, a Windows all in one that I don’t much use but have for any Windows needs and will soon build another Windows machine to run as an audio slave in my studio. On top of that I have an older Dell desktop running FreeBSD as a server setup but am getting a couple of bare bones actual servers for production use. I’m still deciding whether to stick with BSD or go to Linux, probably CentOS. I want better integration with the Macs.
What is amazing about BSD/Linux is that I can take a bunch of older desktop machines — and I’m talking a decade and a half old — and turn them in to halfway decent production server machines for small businesses or organizations. The only reason I’m getting a couple of actual servers is that I have an empty rack I want to put them in and I want to add some cooling equipment. Plus easier HDD configs.
