Starting reading your post, took a nap, then got to the last chapter.
Made me think again about "the Spork analogy".
I tried Linux, did what I needed it to, in an easier less bothersome way too, plus it's able to run the Windows apps I personnaly need.
For gaming, years ago I was able to make the Windows version of World of Warcraft work in Linux, took some hard work at the time.
I left WoW because was too time sucking (yes not consuming... literaly sucking ) and left the Linux world.
Came back a few years ago and saw that Linux made some major advancements and I finally saw the Lite, wink wink.
So for me, the kichen drawer utensils are slowly but surely getting replace by sporks. Yes, it takes some will power, following the heard is what people are used to.
Fortunately, the main stride is I think Linux getting a little less marginal in peoples eyes.
Marginal :
"One that is considered to be at an outer limit of social acceptability."
Oh, and as for "cloud", I like the internet and I create my own "cloud services" with servers at home.
The idea of having my pictures/documents (Dropbox, etc.), voice (Siri, Google Home,etc.), finger print/face (Cellular unlock, etc) and so on, all being sent so servers who knows where and probably stored, is quite unconfortable for me. Seems like George Orwell's Big Brother in more ways then one. Heck, even the grocery store over here asks for your postal code and email... the worse is getting a "funny look" when you DON'T give it.
A lot of influencial persons in history got that the information is a valuable asset (WWII anyone) and like Tom Clancy more recently said, "If you can control information, you can control people."
