Lots of people use their "gaming" laptops as working stations. I barely use mine for playing, but I like to have a big screen with full keyboard and a nice GPU for my work, and something I can take with me if needed, for example for a long work trip. I also have a smaller laptop for things on the go.

Animations and transparencies are the first thing I disable when I install an new OS.

Yeah, all businesses that need to run proprietary software that only exists on windows.

Good luck convincing your manager to use crossover/wine for your XRD machine.

People who think people using windows do it voluntarily are so out of touch with the industry.

Yeah, this is like comparing the market of Casio with Rolex. They have nothing in common, except that their products give the time.

Hey you can now use the bus lanes at midnight pm on a Sunday, and have extra parking spots in Peckham. It benefits everyone!

I'm sorry, what? A pregnant woman can't leave the state without husband's permission? Also, what happens if she's a single mum, or she's not married? Or a widow or husband is deployed... I mean... what?

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?

Also, HDD are hard disc drives, so technically hard drives can be disc drives too, that's why the replier misunderstood you.

Not OP, I don't have respect for JP, but he still was a professor back then. This is like Degree Tyson starts talking BS on behavioural psychology, that doesn't make him wrong about all his previois statements on astrophysics.

And this is a clear example of how to keep people away from Linux, nothing push more people out of a community than shamming.

I don't agree. I had lots of issues with printers, scanners, cameras, fingerprintreader, styluses. Yes, regular hardware, no issue, peripherals? Different story.

I know this is an issue from the manufacturers, but it's still an issue.

In Colombia a few years ago Xiaomi was every where. People getting an iPhone most like get a "are you paying 3 times to do the same as this other phone? You crazy" from their friends, at least I'm my social circle.
