Furthermore, if you have zero trust in your OS vendor, then why are you continuing to use their product?

  I need to use Windows sometimes to check out VPN client apps. Also to use Excel, when Calc chokes on too much data and/or too many calculations. So I'm just very careful. I have old Windows 7 and Office DVDs that I bought for cash at a yard sale. I created a VirtualBox VM, and updated it through a nested VPN chain. When I need to use Windows, I just clone that VM. If I'm putting data on it, I don't give it an Internet uplink. Occasionally, I update a clone. And if everything goes well, I use that as the source for future working clones. If I need to retain old clones, I put them on an external LUKS SSD.

  Perhaps you work on windows (and are required to), or you like playing AAA videogames. Two use-cases where not using windows is not an option, but a requirement.

    Playing AAA videogames is not a requirement for anything unless your job is game testing.

      I said it was a use-case. It might not be a use-case that is right for you, but I'd hazard to go so far as to say that it is a use-case for a large amount of people that run Windows.
