I'd dispute bad UI. I find Gnome far nicer to use than Windows, which has a completely inconsistent UI. Hardware support, maybe for some things, but again, Linux supports old hardware far better in my experience. I think it's mostly that Windows is the de facto business standard, and for home people just buy what they already know.

> Linux supports old hardware far better in my experience. This is the crux of it: linux really shines for older paradigms and protocols. It makes it a great OS if what you're doing was cuting edge decades ago. Another thread mentions printing. Use devs rely on core tools day day out thare often older than us. Most people got used to computers before touch, and have absolutely not need for a touch screen, etc. Same for UI really. But if you'te target is something forming right now, or bringing new paradigms (let's say VR games), going linux will mean you either create everything you need for yourself almost on your own, or move to something else (probably Windows)
