It's a shame, because that excuse makes no sense.

I agree; it would be great to hear from developers who've experimented with switching from macOS to Windows 10, and use Ubuntu userspace on Windows.

I switched about a month ago and, to be honest, I've been pleasantly surprised with Windows 10, with modern, top-of-the-line Windows hardware, and especially with Ubuntu on Windows.

Reading Dave's (https://daverupert.com/tag/davegoeswindows) experience switching to Windows turned me off considering it as an option. However I've ordered an Eve V so will try it out when that comes later in the year.

I think most people prefer Windows or MacOS.

When I talk to normal/non-techies about this issue, they often see it as a non-issue and/or terrifying.

Why not help Windows and Mac users by writing more software for the preferred environments?

Installing a foreign operating system is like installing a different language on your PC. You must have other motivation than normal users.

Why doesn't Microsoft let people control updates or antivirus options? These questions run deep.
