Actually one can and often
does choose their OS. I did. When I left Windows I found substitutes for the few programs I needed (nothing specialized). That said, if you need a specialized, niche product (like Photoshop or Final Cut) than definitely it's a matter of choosing the best platform for those applications. I would add PC gaming to this category. I don't believe in beating my head against the wall. But, as a general purpose OS, Linux should provide everything most PC users need. It does so for me.
