For personal computing, sure. For enterprise environment, eh not really.

Or if you're into online gaming.

I have to fend off linux nerds with a bat. The bottom line is "that's cool and all but there are a lot of things that I can't do with linux and I'm not willing to make that big of a change"

What are the issues? Genuine question.

Not the person you replied to but they’re probably talking about anti-cheat

I heard there were issues with those, but not sure on the specifics

Most games with anti-cheat refuse to run on Linux even if the anti-cheat itself supports it. And some anti-cheats just don’t work on Linux anyway, I believe the ones that do only support it by just not running when they detect they’re on Linux. If you’re interested you can check which games are supported here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ but bear in mind it could change at any time (for example Rockstar broke GTAV a few weeks ago)
