When Windows has the advantage, you tout such concerns as important.
But they are not, to most users.
 
Many users don't use much software but a Web browser.
 
OTOH, you disregard the Linux privacy advantage as not important to
most users.  That's not fair or consistent.
 
As always in this FUBAR market, Linux serves, very well, those for
whom the mainstream options are inadequate.  Many more would be better
off with Linux, but simply don't know it.

Linux definitely has the privacy advantage but the reality is that the
people we would invite to using Linux as their daily driver would
immediately circumvent those advantages by signing up to services that
spy on them consistently like Facebook, and by removing the default
Firefox in favour of Google Chrome. Don't underestimate how retarded the
average person is.

I'm not one of those people. Chrome has no place on my computers. Neither
does Facebook (or any of the popular "social" applications).
