But we have to use Windows to get anything done.

Half-a-decade ago, I tried out several of the distros. They did the basic, but they were confusing and had few actual instruction/help or tutorials.

The number of versions or distros still make various Linux OS's difficult to use. If the makers really want to 'sell' Linux distros, they should come up with a 'comparability' list:

I don't want to spend a lot of time learning a new OS to do things I can do immediately in Windows. However, I have played with Win10 a few times and found it AWFUL. Thus, I am more open to something different when Win7 goes the way of XP.

I have been using Android on a tablet and smartphone and have a similar opinion of it. It is okay for quick-and-dirty, but certainly not for doing real productivity computing.
