It's not necessarily a threat of violence. A lot of people would just feel ashamed to criticise other people in person would feel fine to do it on the Internet. Being a dick is a lot harder when you can see the effects of your words on the other person.

Some people add the rind to broths.
Me too. For me, this feels one dimensional, like a story where everything is good and wholesome, and nothing bad ever happens. It feels incomplete.
Which is all irrelevant to original point and doesn't change how factual my comment is. Should we start replying to comments making any factual point now?
That's not the point (which is also subjective; if you are a Linux developer or uses Linux software at work it's much harder to use Window). They implied that Linux doesn't let you install proprietary software, which is not true and shows they don't understand how software works. Windows software requires proprietary software from Microsoft to run. You can't run Windows software on Linux because those components are proprietary to Microsoft and are not available for Linux, although Wine tries to reverse engineer them.
All Linux distros give you the choice of installing and uninstalling whatever you want.
I don't think you understand how Linux and software work. Windows software doesn't work on Linux because it depends on other Windows software. Wine tries to supply these missing pieces. Linux isn't stopping from doing anything.
Everyone likes to feel superior in some way. To a lot of people, they were born superior, especially those who feel like they are not important in any other way.
Except for my local printing shop, which couldn't print my PDF poster for some reason so now they are asking for a PPT. WTF!
This. No one would buy an arbitrary computer and expect MacOS to run on it, for example. Buy a computer with known Linux support. Ask the vendor.
20 years ago our cat fell out of our workshop's ceiling and we decided to keep it. True story.
If your competition is other spreadsheet programs, then yes. If your competition is Python or R, absolutely not.
