I can never understand how anyone with an interest in tech hasn't switched to Linux for their personal desktop/laptop at some point in the last 20+ years.

Why would you want to use a closed source OS controlled by a corporation with a past as checkered as Microsoft's?

Game development, design, photography, gaming, ease of accessing torrents to trial applications before purchasing, etc.

Windows still wins, mac is great for most of those points except for gaming and torrents, Linux bad at most of those.
