Most people use their computers for games. Games are more readily
available for Windows.

I was using Unix long before I had any contact with a PC. When I did
have the use of a PC, it had Windows and hardly a working day went
by without having to restart it for some reason or other, and it
accumulated all sorts of glitches. I decided that if I was going to
have a computer of my own, it would have Linux. I thought it would
be a lot less trouble, and easier to program, like Unix - and so it
is. I don't claim to have "learnt Linux", just to being an ordinary
user.
