> I had stopped using Windows for health reasons a long time ago. How does Windows cause health issues?

Maybe they can’t use it because of health issues that cause them to need special accessibility tools that are unavailable on the platform.

  .....that ARE available on Linux? Accessibility is a mess on Linux.

    Linux isn't the only other major OS.

  This. I had also become violent towards my machines, punching and kicking them several feet up.

    Why did you punish the machines for the software? :( Edit: Ah, I see, you removed the violent rage towards machines running windows part.

      I was young and immature and started doing that after I tried everything. I was also stuck with a "faulty" RAM which I couldn't replace that I thought was causing this. That situation occurred often enough and right when I really didn't want it to happen - like saving work - that it became irritating.

    This sounds like a mostly separate issue which you should get help for. Operating systems, by themselves, do not cause people to kick things.

      They absolutely do. I could not develop on windows without anger management classes.
      - FartyMcFarter 6y ago
        To be a bit clearer: I get that operating systems can be very annoying, but kicking things is not a healthy reaction to being annoyed. If you kick things just because you're irritated, please seek professional help, and don't blame it all on Windows.

>How does Windows cause health issues? It is not that Windows caused health issues, but my reaction to Windows was not healthy. Bear in mind that before switching, I had only used DOS but mainly Windows for almost two decades. Let's say we grew apart over the years.

You're exposed to more viruses.
