I'm looking at you, 14-year-old "31337 pengUin hackers".
I'm on Windows. I never have to recompile my kernel (or everything else, in the case of Gentoo). I install my drivers in a couple clicks (PS: even IF Linux were faster, it would have worse performance because the drivers suck. Linux on servers is a different thing.). ANY software that I want is available to me without having to dick around with WINE. I don't have a computer so I can waste time tinkering it, I have it so I watch porn like everybody else.
