What "truth"? Explain qualitatively how Windows is a "toy".

There are plenty of open source alteratives for everything you want to do, seriously at this point there is no reason to not use linux.
Say that again after being in a non-IT-company job for 10 years.
To use my job as an example... I work at an engineering company. The only piece of software we have on our standard apps list that even has a Linux version is Matlab.
All our industry-standard engineering, analysis, drafting, modelling, document management, etc apps are Windows only.
(And before Blender or K3D get mentioned, no, not that kind of modelling.)
Of course, none of this is to say that I don't like Linux, or I think it's bad, or whatever. I think it's cool, and as I mentioned earlier I use it myself. But as with anything, horses for courses.
Word processing, spreadsheets, and simple 2D drawings aren't "serious work" in the scheme of things. That's not to diminish your work or effort, by the way, it's just to give some perspective. Computers are used all the way from a college student typing up their work, through to engineering and designing multi-billion dollar infrastructure. I speak from experience when I say that there certainly is not open source alternatives for "everything". They might get there some day, but certainly not in my lifetime.
