Oh, I have something to be for - I'm for Linux, specifically Debian. I've been using it exclusively (barring the requirements of work) for most of a
decade, and I've never for a moment regretted the switch.
Even for me it requires some tweaking to get the UI and so forth way I want it, though, and there's very little likelihood that the way I like it is going
to be suitable for most other people. (Which in turn is probably why it takes tweaking to get the way I like - they try to make the defaults more suited for
what they expect most people to prefer.) I have for some time been convinced that it would be 100% possible to create a Linux-based system which would serve
perfectly and seamlessly for everything your typical Windows user would expect, just with a different "skin" - but I've not yet had anything like
the time to sit down and try to spin one up.
I do understand that you probably have reasons why you don't consider Linux acceptable - you've listed a few candidates, and while I don't see how
some of them apply, it's possible that I just haven't encountered the situations that prompted you to mention them. I'm not interested in trying to
get into an argument about it at the moment, however; I just wanted to make my position (at least somewhat) clear.
