Most of the statements are true, but miss the core point of my post unfortunately.
"Linux" is not an OS
Linux distros the total number of viruses / exploits known are far in excess of windows server distributions
This makes Linux a manpower and costing overhead nightmare
GPU drivers are a pig.
Gaming in general is a badly written joke, yes most stuff will run but it's a battle to setup.
Each package store has it's pro's and con's
Every UI has hidden problems or concessions or issues.

Linux already won the war that matters long ago.
This isn't an opinion, its a fact.
I wasn't pointing to all the amazing advantages of Linux (the name I'll call all distributions that include the Linux kernel, which most people do in fact also call Linux, for simplicity sake) over Windows, or how Linux was X, Y, Z. I only pointed out the fact the current cloud runs on Linux, and been primarily Linux for some time now, and I don't see that changing.
Even Azure primarily runs on Linux ref
This isn't because Linux is inherently safer, provides a better place to game, isn't fragmented, or is inherently easy to use. Its because primarily of key 1 reason.
Its Open Source
I believe "reach" is the key deciding factor of what gets "popular". JavaScript is popular and growing, not because its a good language (its not), but because its the language of the web.
PS. I think your barking up the wrong tree. I'm a ChromeOS fan, but as I mentioned earlier, this can be a story for another time ;D

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Wow this is a lot, like a lot.
