Also regarding entertaintment the following is pasta too but provides a reasoning of the current state and links with relevant info:
The no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

Windows has been taken over by SJWs. You should only use windows unless you need it for work, it's the year of linux desktop.

Audio/musicstuff is good on windows/apple. Last thing I use windows for. Linux everything else.

Consider this:
Accessing web based email through windows: need antivirus and prob antivirus firewall. windows wants to update all the time unless you fork over cash for 'ultimate'. Any files downloaded can be scanned but if you already have a virus they can be executed by code already on your machine or by accidentally double clicking them (files like yada.jpg.evilscrpt).

Access web based email in linux: install your favorite linux. Start your fav. browser and view your email. If you're paranoid you can create a vm of another linux and open a browser in that and scan any files downloaded before putting them in a shared folder. Files are not made executable until you make them so and you get plenty of opportunity to kill anything that might want to 'run' something. Cash layed out is nothing. Just time to learn it. If you're here shitposting then *You've Got Time*, unless of course you're being payed to shill which I kind of doubt. I usually assume lazyness or ignorance or desire to start piss match or troll.
