The biggest problem with using Linux is that the support structure is

So?

The nifty thing about Linux is that you can download and
evaluate it for free. You can even download single CD distributions
that won't even require you to install anything.

You can see if all of your hardware is supported and see if
the basic apps are up to your requirements.

So there's really no reason to listen to the prattling of either
side of this particular argument. You can just try it out for yourself
if you're so inclined.

Can't do that with Windows. Can't do that with MacOS either.
