This post is basically to encourage people to check Linux out. What is stopping you from ditching Microsoft?
Edit: I forgot to mention this but if someone is looking for a recommendation for a Linux distribution then I'd personally recommend Manjaro KDE or just any of the popular distributions with KDE Plasma as the Desktop Environment really. Edit 2: For those who might be looking for more stability and don't need to have the most up to date software I'd recommend Kubuntu.
You can't stop us from shooting ourselves in the foot, and then blaming the platform for it afterwards!
