it's the year 2016 already.
are there any good authentic reasons to switch to linux yet?
for fun
Better support.
We have games now.
You like penguins?
Avoid big data and everyday life spying ?
inb4 someone replying why win10 is gr8
Windows is reason enough.

Windows 10*
I'm trying to justify why I switched to Windows and I can't.
Games are not a good enough reason. Games are kind of shit and gnu/linux has most of the good ones anyway.
There is none. Microsoft™ Windows™ 10 is the best operating system on Earth.

Plenty.
- package manager
- customizability
- better security
- virtually no viruses
- choice (many distros)
- choice (many DE/WMs)
- flexibility (desktop, laptop, server, htpc, etc.)
- CLI and GUI or both (use it how it suits you)
- ease of use (setting up a LAMP server, or reverse ssh proxy, or anything else is a breeze)
- many IDEs for your favorite programming language
need I go on?

Most of those games are shite.

>Proprietary software
Yes, the fact that most C/C++/Python/etc. libraries are designed to be built and used on Linux only. I recently tried to switch to Windows 10 because I got meme'd by all these pajeets, and it gave me tons of frustration trying to write any code under Windows 10 until I gave up and installed a VM.
Are you fucking kidding me? I can't think of a reason to NOT use GNU/Linux.
Not really...

So you can finally start learning about computers?
Clicking on bullshit in a GUI "control panel" doesn't count.

if you need to ask that
you don't need Linux at all

No it isn't. When did a Linux OS ever get a virus?
