Oh sure, a 2009 model desktop will run Win10 in its current iterations
just peachy, give me a break.  You need an NVMe drive, realistically,
even a SATA SSD on a machine that old is gonna suck balls.  You're
kidding yourself, to believe M$ gives a shit about you.  Linux FTW.

There are far more shitty Windows apps.

Anyway, I do what I do, on Linux, no Wine. I do boot to Windows to make sure my
code runs on it as well.

Sure. And those who are technically versed and willing to spend more
time on setting up the system can use Linux and be happy.

You can buy computers with Linux pre-installed, e.g. from System76.

But hey, stick with Windows if you want. Just don't slag on people who
use Linux.

A man sank into the psychiatrist's couch and said, "I have a
terrible problem, Doctor.  I have a son at Harvard and another son at
Princeton; I've just gifted each of them with a new Ferrari; I've got
homes in Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, and a co-op in New York; and I've
got a thriving ranch in Venezuela.  My wife is a gorgeous young actress
who considers my two mistresses to be her best friends."
The psychiatrist looked at the patient, confused.  "Did I miss
something?  It sounds to me like you have no problems at all."
"But, Doctor, I only make $175 a week."
