#Linux is comfy, quiet and unobtrusive. #Windows has this threatening, vague negative aura around it, probably because I mentally associate it with clerical and customer service jobs lol
But that's a good distinction to make! Windows makes you feel like a waggie, a cog in the machine, Linux makes you feel like you're in control of your computing rather than the other way around
