This forum is about computer audio. I would assume that everyone here has some competence in computers. For reading the posts, most people claim to have this ability.
I run Linux headless on embedded systems. I use Windows 7 and 8.1 for day to day use because that's the way my systems are set up. (Depends on paid applications, among other things.) But I could run Linux perfectly well for office tasks, since the open source office applications that I use on Windows also run on Linux. It took some time for me to be come sufficiently familiar with Linux to be able to do system management to my satisfaction.
The majority of Gramps and Grammas that I use Windows. However, all the people that I am friends with are pretty smart. I don't hang out with fools. So perhaps you are right. I don't personally know any fools who are supporting Apple's market cap. I've been around the computer industry for 50 years, and I've seen a lot of companies rise and fall.
