    People said they will never upgrade from 7 to 10, and now they are saying they will never upgrade from 10 to 11

      ^ This, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming from 7 to 10, and now looking forward to another 3 years of Win10 security updates, while fervently praying that Adobe and my online games add Linux support during that time >_>

          Ah yes the classic purist arguement.

          If the applications I want to use don’t support Linux then apparently that’s their problem. I wish I didn’t have to live in the real world, but unfortunately I can’t pay my mortgage in moral righteousness. If I can’t use the programs I need to use my job, because I’ve decided to switch to an operating system that they don’t support, I’m the one that’s going to suffer.

          So no you can’t just ditch applications that don’t have Linux support.

          In the real world you have to dual boot and that’s a pain in the arse because it means Microsoft are still going to be getting some money from me.
