It is getting better but there are still alot of things you just can't do on Linux.
Like for my work we have alot of specialized software that is only for Windows. Sure I might be able to get it working under Linux but what do you think will happen if I need get software Support for this software? They will say i am using an unsupported OS and hang up.
And for my home, there is so many anti cheat software that refuses to work on Linux or potentially get you banned.
Linux has come a very long way in the last 5 years but there is still alot of situations the abusive relationship is your only option.
For work is understandable. I use nothing but windows at work because work requires it. I don't give a shit if they used a potato, as long as I get my paycheck. At home, though, sorry my friend, I won't ever understand no matter how many excuses you give me. If a company doesn't want to support my os then to fucking bad, I won't give them my money, and will move on to the ones that do.
Sure the is commendable but end of the day it is what is important to you. If my group of friends is playing a game and that game isn't supported on Linux. That affect me a lot more then it would affect the company.
You do whatever works for you.
