> I think you're missing the fact that Windows does offer a lot on the home front. Games and stuff like HTPC are just better on Windows. Well, yes, if you have any software that is must-have and it's only available for (or best on) one OS, that'll be what you choose. Incidentally, I'd not put Windows at the top of my list for HTPC. Probably 3rd or 4th under Linux and Android (if I didn't want to pay anything for the OS and wanted more of an appliance, or if I were using anything short of a quite beefy computer—Win10 is high overhead and uses tons of disk) and macOS (if I wanted a desktop experience on the TV and for most advanced media stuff to probably Just Work without having to mess with config files—old Mac Minis are great for this), unless I was also trying to PC-game on a TV.
