> You sound like you are just used to do everything with Windows and never have considered seriously to use Linux software, I guess you don't know most of what exists there. Although this comment is not directed at me, I feel obliged to throw it back at you: Have you ever used Windows? The odd time I need to create/edit images, there is no equal on Linux for paint.net. None. not pinta, not GIMP. Nothing else hits the feature/complexity sweet spot like paint.net. There also is no equal on Mac. Secondly, we're in a world where Webex still exists. It is very easy to use on Windows & Mac, & all functionality is available. Using it on Linux involves using a more limited version which runs on JVM and involves you having to figure out what dependencies to install. Using Webex in a VM isn't feasible as there is a noticeable ~3 second delay for voice. > Libreoffice or Softmaker office is available They do exist but Excel simply puts them to shame. Over the past 15 years, I've used Windows & Linux both for personal use & work. I've never been in a situation where either OS suffices on it's own, for either work or personal. I've used Mac OS for work and it was sufficient on it's own - polished applications, alongside powerful dev tools. However, when it came to spending my own money, I decided a 2 in 1 with Windows & Linux was a much better buy for me than a Mac, especially when it came to bang for buck.
