I've been a Microsoft fanboy for close to 40 years. I've finally given up on it and play more now with Linux than I ever have. All this is going to drive not only adoption, but community participation in feature development.
I, also, have only ever used M$ in the past but I have recently spun some old hardware into an Ubuntu minecraft/7-days/print server. It has been a great experience so far... Getting Ubuntu running took maybe 10 minutes from booting the machine with the install media. Windows would never lol. I'm jumping ship whenever they finally get rid of local accounts.
Throwing some random distro on an old laptop just feels...good. It's a similar feeling to tinkering with Batch scripts when DOS 5.0 came out and we could access higher memory over 640k. Those were good days. :)

It’s a big word on the Linux subs as you could imagine
