content: I think android was based off of linux actually. But it's comical people are still beating the dead linux horse, when it's mainly something developers or hacker/crackers will make much use of. Until products like Google's android systems come along (developer use example) you don't see much coming from it but a convoluted mess of builds which usually make installing the simplest of tools an absolute pita. It's a pita to install even the simplest of things on linux that you can install in a single click in windows. Even if all you wanna do is browse the web on firefox with noscript or umatrix or something. There is absolutely no reason to refuse to use windows on a home system for daily use (especially gaming, gamers use windows sorry) unless you're a developer or breaking into software or others' systems. linux is the ghetto os for uptight neckbeards that wanna feel different. And nobody needs to actually pay for windows, either. In case that is used as an excuse, I would expect somebody smart enough to know better.
