I have experience on both sides. You are free (of course) to ignore my comments/opinions. You can disagree with them. But they are not irrelevant.

Something I've noticed over the years is that the most anti-linux/open source folk tend to have no experience with it whatsoever. OTOH, it's almost impossible to not have to deal with microsoft to some degree.

OTOH, it's almost impossible to not have to deal with microsoft to some degree.

You are so right. I have a dual boot rig (too lazy pretending to be paranoid to make a proper VM for the Windows partition). Libre Office has its limitations. For serious Word Processing (which I rarely do now) WordPerfect for Windows is much better (Microsoft gave Corel money decades ago to stop making the heavily touted, premature Linux version), and Excel handles larger spreadsheets even in the Excel 2013 incarnation that I now use as I despise Microsoft's rental/cloud approach. I like my cloud within MY control, thank you.

Of course, numerous specialty websites work better in MS environments.
