“If you want a desktop that can take a licking and keep ticking, you want Linux, not Windows or Mac OS X. “
Windows 7 has been rock solid. Never has crashed and I do very high end software engineering on it.
This drumbeat of FUD against Windows is for the ignorant children who think Linux is somehow cool.
That said, Windows 10 sucks out loud for many reasons and I have banned it from more than one corporation.

Most don’t use it to ‘be cool’- we turn to it to avoid the windows spyware crap in windows 10- and because linux is safer (although not bulletproof) online- for everyday online activities- it fits the bill nicely, without having to geek out and know tons of code or commands- it just works now- and most people can use it easily without being tech savvy at all
While it is true some elitists think they are ‘cool’ for using linux in a complicated command environment- and pride themselves on knowing all kinds of geeky crap- you have the same thing with some windows users- but for the most part- it’s not about being cool for most users in both os’s- it’s about having a choice to use a safer os, and to avoid the impossible to shut off windows spyware crap coded into windows 10-
