Oh wow, you mean it does the very bare minimum that any OS should do?
In what context? Opening programs and playing media? Lol
Yes, it does what 99% of users require from it. On Linux I would immediately run into a bunch of programs that wouldn't work out of the box, at which point I'd need to get into emulating. Which is something I do not want to deal with.
Windows works flawlessly without hassle, Linux does not. Easy choice to make.
