More basically, an OS is not a food that you might like or dislike, it is a tool that you use when it is suited to the task. Discriminating against tools doesn’t make sense, it only limits your capabilities.

Only if you want capabilities that you can only achieve with the tool you dislike. I've had plenty of shitty screwdrivers, and it was totally reasonable not to like them. And I'm not going to deal with all the safety risks of a table saw when I really only need a hacksaw.

That's all great for you to be platform agnostic. There's literally zero things I want to do that I can't do with Linux, and as someone who does get paid to use, deploy, and support Windows, the only things I find easier with Windows are goals that exist only because MS created them (such as AD integration).

Nah, you do you, but I'm quite comfortable discriminating against Windows, and with defending the fact that I do so. I'll continue using it only when paid for that purpose, and will absolutely not voluntarily put myself in a position where I need to rely on the mess that is windows or the surveillance company that is Microsoft for anything that is important to me personally.

I am past the point of having “a” computer with “an” operating system… the concept of “moving” to another OS is basically irrelevant…

And man the entire tone of your post is early 2000's "I don't even own a TV" level.
