I use and respect Windows because it's the only operating system that lets me use the computer. Mac? Maybe if I want my computer to be fashionable room decor and nothing else. Linux? I'm not a libertarian neckbeard with too much

My problem is that this junkformation is literally junk: WTF am I supposed to do with it? It's way too broad and vague to be useful for anything; no specific materials or products were named and they even admit they can't comment
