I choose to use Linux because I'm a "power user". Another reason, however, is because many of the apps just seem less bloated and far more intuitive (e.g. LibreOffice Calc vs MS Excel).

And, of course, privacy issues.

I run Windows as my main system (I run a team of Windows devs so it’s just easier) but I’ve got a bunch Linux distros in VMs that I tinker with.

Putting aside work needs, could I run Linux as my main system OS? For the most part, yes (certain games I like don’t have a Linux port and are garbage in WINE or a VM). The rest of the family are the biggest non work obsticle. They are confortable with Windows and it’s not worth the pain to try to change their minds at this point.

LibreOffice works great on windows too ...
