Gah! Please, whatever you finally do, make sure that
- you capitalize Linux, as it's a name
- you don't confuse Linux with the open source movement or use it as a synonym
for a distribution based on it("I use linux 8.1 on my PC."). Linux is just a
kernel.

Again, (almost) nobody wants to live without windows, surely not me. Point is
that you rather mean the product MS Windows[1].

I personally hope that mature people will be aware that there are other OSs
and that they have a choice, MS Windows being on of them.

Despite my criticisms, it is a Good Thing(tm) which you do. Thank you.

[1] I personally adopted saying (even when spoken) 'MS Windows', wondering
whether the legislative fiasco of Lindows in some countries could have been
avoided by that...
