Re: @Mark 85 The seem to be going in an unsavory direction...
"use their computers for anything remotely popular."
Generally meaning gaming, as the commenter you're replying to mentioned. It is also the reason I still run Windows. But lack of games isn't Linux's fault - it is perfectly capable of running games. It's a result of Windows dominance over the past 2 decades (however achieved) - simply most PCs run Windows, it's most economical to develop games for Windows and ignore the other platforms - OSX suffers from this too.
That won't change until Linux gains market share - which is slowly happening, as we've seen Valve bring Steam to Linux, release their own Linux based console and a lot of early access games being released for both platforms.
Based on the complaints against Windows 10 and if people are this upset and serious about trying Linux, that influx of users could be the tipping point for bringing major league games to the platform.
And once that happens, who's going to pay ~£100 for Windows to play their games and browse the net when they can do it for free on Linux?
