[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 911082"] This is the thing, you can and are allowed to use/live with both. There's no law saying you can only choose one. IMHO, for the vast majority of people that only surf the web and such, Linux, Windows and MacOS will do that equally well. If you like Linux and want to use it as your daily driver, but still require some programs from Windows, or Mac, just install Linux along side it and pop back in when you need to use Windows, or MacOS. If its not something that requires max performance, than a VM will work too. I plan to use Linux as my daily driver on all my computers. My gaming rig will be dual boot with Windows for games and such. On my other systems (or server) I may have a VM or two with Windows, for other odds and ends. Moral of the story, Linux will do what most people need. Those that require Windows/MacOS specific programs and such can either stick with those OSes, or dual boot/VM. This is very true. The ironic part is there are so many Linux users who go about bad mouthing Windows users and saying well, you won't get infected downloading a bunch of random exes....which is true. However, Linux has the exact same security issue, but instead of exes, it comes in the form of command line strings that people are told to just copy and paste for this, or that.
