I won’t switch to linux as long as the things I need don’t work there.

Perfectly fine, but it doesn’t discount what I said before.

A lot of people share that sentiment, since for them, the OS they are using is a tool, not a way of life.

You’re right about this also. I want my OS to work for me and I want to not have to fight against the OS to get things done. For me that’s Linux. When I used to use Windows regularly it was nothing but annoyance and hindrances.
