Such hyperbole is not helpful, versus an objective analysis.

I hate to break it to you, but your situation and experience is NOT "objective analysis." It is anecdotal, at best.

Objective analysis calls for studying a larger group of people with varying experiences and needs.

That saying is growing truer every day.

I did not say my own anecdotal experience was "objective analysis," but it remains that "once you’ve tried Linux, you wont go back" is hyperbole, and such hyperbole is not, versus an objective analysis. And my objection was to the hype.

Yes, it does. That saying is growing truer every day.

Aside from a slow growth in Linux desktop use, what recent survey can you provide of users who tried Windows and Linux and switched, and polled such aspects as on user proficiency of each and home use versus business?

At least years ago (way back in 2007) asurvey by OpenSUSE.org reported that desktop users as a class were more likely more tech savvy (thus they would be less prone to infections than your average Windows user on that basis alone, in addition to Linux being more secure), almost all male.
