I have been on and off Linux basically since it first came out in the 90's (rather in the mid-late 90's in my case). I remember the day the computer magazine I used to read every week came with the Red Hat cd and getting together with my friends to install it...

I can't talk as far as servers go, only as a client-user, so good if Windows Server works. As a "normie" client-user (student, then non-tech work), Linux simply wouldn't be sustainable, so I always ended up being dragged back to MicroShaft's malware. And it would soon get worse the following years, by an order of magnitude, with the advent of Evil Corp (Google + Apple).

I think that the situation has changed dramatically now and that Linux is finally retail/normie ready. And the advantages are simply enormous, but more importantly, are becoming even greater imminently. We just can't surrender and take all this fucking spyware and abuse that Evil Corp intends to push down our throats anymore.
