5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

  • Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

  • Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

  • You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

  • Your company policy requires it

  • Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I'm not saying you shouldn't use Linux at all.

What's with all the downvotes? Anyone care to explain?

This is community, where major portion of users only criticize Windows and praise Linux.

And rightly so! 😇
