20 years ago our fam was 100% M$.
Now everyone but me is 100% Apple and I now use Apple (hand me down iPhone with no phone connection), Android(Tablet), Win7( now, an “old” laptop), and Linux (with some older Wins in VMs on multiple Desktops).
20 and even 30 years ago, my family (and I) used Microsoft. I even dabbled into Linux. Yet, 30 years later, my preference is still MS with Windows.
Why? It’s compatible with just about every application ever written, and it’s compatible with just about everything everybody else does with their PCs, and, there are more developers for Windows machines than for just about anything else around.
Can’t go wrong with going with MS Windows. Problems and all, which, btw, have been very minor and easily fixable.
