Stop using the operating system where everything works: apps, games, hardware, good office package, etc.; rather use an operating system on which debugging to a layman translates to a plane of hell itself, where your hardware may or may not work, and half your game library certainly won't.
I would happily switch to Linux permanently the day the flagship office package UI doesn't resemble Office 97 (the ribbon UI is absolutely fantastic in MS Office), I can get all of my games to work, and I don't need to recompile a kernel to get something as basic as a graphics driver running.
Many games don't port to Linux until all users have switched. It's a chicken-egg problem :(

You already don't need to do that. Intel and AMD's open-source drivers are included in the kernel and nVidia's driver can be installed without recompiling the kernel.
The games are getting better. Just over half of my steam library works at the moment. Not sure when it happened but over the last 2 years I noticed more and more things being available. It's no longer just low quality indie stuff.
If any Blizzard game would be ported, that would truly be a milestone (StarCraft 2 with WINE is a lot slower on my machine).
Also many games require nVidia drivers or AMD's open source driver (e.g. Life is strange). I'm using a 144 Hz monitor and therefore need touse AMDGPU Pro (AMDGPU has a bug with >120 Hz: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93826 ).
But you're right: It's getting better :) For example Rocket League and Dota 2 work great.
Your refutations are both weaker and discussion-worsening when you call names and are personally thorny. The guidelines are here so we can have more civil and insightful discussions.
My refutations aren't weaker, they're just in poorer taste. I'm sick of the typical Windows apologist making baseless claims about Linux and I don't see it necessary to treat such people with respect. They haven't earned it.
I know. It's still frustrating that you'll moderate comments like mine but comments spreading harmful misinformation never hear it. It's also difficult to take your rules seriously when even you don't.
