      But yes, unfortunately pinball is gone from there and so is Chess. CHESS! I loved chess and while the store has a ton of chess games as well I just don't like that it's not official ya know...

Luckily Linux is huge in my field so it's pretty much always a supported platform for all tools that I use, even more so than Windows in the open source community. But there are plenty of other industries where Windows basically still has a monopoly. So in all seriousness there's unfortunately a few more reasons to use Windows, none of which have anything to do with being a decent OS but pretty much all of them have something to do with it being a monopoly.

      As if Linux and MacOS never introduced any bugs with patches or updates. Don't be ridiculous. Measured by the complexity of Windows (which IS higher than MacOS because of the backwards compatibility to Win2000, partially even back to Windows 3.1, supporting third party drivers and literally billions of hardware combinations it's a miracle Windows doesn't blue screen once a day. And they STILL manage to patch exploits faster than Apple. Meanwhile professional Mac users have to carefully weigh if they update to the newest OS version, not just because there could be bugs like on Windows, but it is EXPECTED that many professionally used software titles need an upgrade before working on the new version, and those updates sometimes take months or won't come at all because the product was just taken off the shelf (while you still like to use it).

    Btw, choosing a distro isn't that much of a big deal. Usually all distros can be used for more or less the same. If a flavor brings a specific set of software, then it's usually not much effort to install the software and use it the same on another distro.
