Ich nutze sowohl in der Arbeit, als auch privat Linux und bin damit glücklich. Es hängt vermutlich u.a. von folgenden Faktoren ab.

  • Was macht man damit (gibt es kritische SW welche nur auf Windows/Mac zur Verfügung steht?
  • Wie wichtig ist einem Offenheit?
  • Wie wichtig ist einem Privatsphäre?
  • Will man SW entwickeln und ja, für welche Plattform/Zielsystem Für mich gibt es auf jeden Fall keinen Grund zu Wechseln.
