People said they will never upgrade from 7 to 10, and now they are saying they will never upgrade from 10 to 11

    ^ This, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming from 7 to 10, and now looking forward to another 3 years of Win10 security updates, while fervently praying that Adobe and my online games add Linux support during that time >_>

    Ah yes the classic purist arguement.

    If the applications I want to use don't support Linux then apparently that's their problem. I wish I didn't have to live in the real world, but unfortunately I can't pay my mortgage in moral righteousness. If I can't use the programs I need to use my job, because I've decided to switch to an operating system that they don't support, I'm the one that's going to suffer.

    So no you can't just ditch applications that don't have Linux support.

    In the real world you have to dual boot and that's a pain in the arse because it means Microsoft are still going to be getting some money from me.

    Yeah, some people get really defensive when you suggest they can get all the things they are asking for, and all they have to do is stop giving money to user-hostile developers. And saying kernel-level anti-cheat is hostile to the user is a massive understatement. Why would you defend Saudi Arabia having kernel-level access to your computer just to play a game? (It's crazy that that statement isn't even a joke in the context of EA.)

    I understand if someone decides not to take the suggestion, but it is still a reasonable suggestion to make.
