The switch to Linux or other free operating systems is long overdue. If your excuse is hardware support, then (1) your hardware is probably supported these days and (2) you should not buy hardware that is incompatible with the operating system you plan to use. If your excuse is editing MS Office files, LibreOffice supports the formats and works great, and MS Office on Wine is an option. If your excuse is games, then know that with Steam and Wine combined your potential gaming library is HUGE. If your excuse is laziness or resistance to change, then I thank you for being honest, and urge you to overcome it.
Proprietary operating systems work against your interests. Stop using them.
