Windows users are the biggest suckers. Change my mind
The average Windows users isn't making the OS decision at all. They're told by their boss that the company uses Windows and they're given a Windows laptop.
When they get that laptop they sign something with fine print that tells them not to mess with the OS or they'll get fired.
How do those suckers support themselves or their families when they get fired for violating the corporate IT policy?
I’m an EE at a major electronics developer and manufacturer. My company’s IT encourages Linux use and even gives us the option to decide what distribution to install, though RHEL is the only one they “officially” provide tech support for. I’ve been running Debian as my daily driver for several years.
I’m rambling and completely missed the point of your comment. I’m just happy we have that option and wish they supported it everywhere.
It is why developers gravitate to macOS, you can’t work at most large companies and use Linux
Pretty had for your average office worker to demand a Mac though
