Hi Home Users,
Why do you feel you are locked in to Windows ?
Why do you feel you are locked in to Windows ?
Dittos to Bot's first two answers. Learning something new can be fun, so I have no problem with that one. But I don't feel locked in, it's more like Linus (Peanuts) blanket, or Kenny's woobie in Mr. Mom, I'm comfortable in using it. It's my preferenceI think many people feel locked into Windows due to its widespread use in the business world, the compatibility of many software applications, and the learning curve associated with transitioning to a new operating system.
What games specifically ? Steam and UnReal is available to Ubuntu.Games/software comparability
Thank you for finishing the other 1/2 of my postTried Linux once and hated it and I won't use anything Apple. I have no problems with Windows, I think they do a pretty good job making something work on billions of different computer with billions of different software combinations.
I don't have any problem with Windows either, software wise. Just that I find my red team find security holes with ease.I have no problems with Windows
I think most office workers are locked in to Microsoft Office. My wife is an office worker and she hates all equivalent software on my Linux Desktop. I had used Linux before and have trouble understanding why good alternatives like Evolution and OnlyOffice (which look nearly the same as Microsoft Office) trigger so much irritation.Hi Home Users,

No disagreement on my part, but isn't that why we are all here?I don't have any problem with Windows either, software wise. Just that I find my red team find security holes with ease.
Yes, changing requires learning effort. When something works already, there is less incentive to change.we all are creatures of habits and reluctant to change
YepWhen something works already, there is less incentive to change.

Indeed, that and I've spent years gaining my intermediate level knowledge of Windows, e.g. the registry used to mystify me and now I have no problem changing something as needed. Don't think I'm up to more years of researching and learning Linux.So the most important reason why people are locked-in to anything is that we all are creatures of habits and reluctant to change.
I agree. I can find the solutions quicker.Many times in windows it's a matter of waiting on companies or Microsoft itself to push a fix, where as most the time in Linux, you can find workarounds on the spot.
True.It's not that hackers can not penetrate Linux or Mac it's that these users do not represent a large enough portion to make it worthwhile.
