It wasn't a criticism or a suggestion of what you should do with your system, just salient points for others to consider.

Most people care very much about the application they run their business on, their library of computer games, and some spend more time customising the appearance of their GUI than I do setting up a Debian server.

I've a Pi with some nice old ROMs on it, been meaning to see if I can get some old skool C64/Amiga running on there because I no longer have either system or the library of software for them that I once did, but neither do I have the time to play games much these days.

Glad you encouraging people to try Linux, truth is that several recent Linux distros are quicker and easier to install than Windows.
