This is not actually a selling point to a lot of people. Some people just want a device to work, and not have to worry about it.

One should use the right tool for the right job. Sometimes, that's just not Linux.
- linkydinkandyou 11y agoExactly! Why do the Linux people try to "take over" every Windows thread? The Windows folks don't barge into every Linux thread. Windows 10 is excellent. We moved our all-mac company (~20 developers) off Macs and onto Windows over the past year, because Apple no longer supports the high end. We do GPGPU programming, and you can't plug a high end NVIDIA card into a MacPro. (The Mac Apologists will say you can, but you can't -- not in any useful performant reliable way.)
- mikeash 11y agoIt's hardly "barg[ing] into" when somebody explicitly asks about alternatives. And yes, they said they wouldn't consider Linux, but that does mean they're the ones who brought it up!
