the worst thing is that many of these people really don't want to use window but are afraid to use linux.

i use linux mint and the truth is that it is very easy to use and very user friendly it is great for getting started with linux and it is completely free and has given me no real reason to go back to window.

maybe the only drawback is the games but it is not impossible to play games on linux nowadays and you just have to do a few extra things.
