I'm using Linux on desktop for more then 10 years now. I guess the main reason is that after a few years you just can't leave it - due to the IKEA effect ;) (same with using Emacs) And even if the desktop situation gets worse (so you have to fix something) you just bond more: Catch-22... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_effect

Huh, I didn't realize that was a thing. My wife and I continue to buy unassembled products because: - price - we like assembling stuff - our sedan is enough to buy furniture - cheaper, unassembled furniture presents less commitment We've replaced Ikea furniture without any attachment issues that I can detect other than the sunk cost fallacy, but that seems to be more prevalent in our more expensive purchases. I didn't realize that so many people because attached to Ikea stuff.
