Yeah, what I've been trying to do, on a rare ocassion where I chime in with the whole "just use Linux" (because it's usually not necessary to be 27th person with the same comment), is to at least add more relevant info, or mention misconceptions that I know were reasons why I didn't switch, or what I found cool.

I.e for me it was gaming, which for a long time used to be considered bad on Linux, especially if you had Nvidia. Which is no longer true in the sligjtest, and I was pretty surprised how smooth the transition was, so I just share a bit of my experience.

But yeah, it's a balancing act. And as always, if you can't add anything to the discussion that already wasn't said (i.e just use linux), it's better not to add anything :D
