Yes, choice.
How to choose an OS? Do you choose it, or do you just position yourself on the MS Good - MS Bad spectrum and go from there? Or indeed just buy a PC and take what you get on it?
In the 80s, when there seemed to be more choice, the sage advice was to look first at what you want to do; then find the software that would do that; and only then decide what hardware and OS would let you run that software.
Do any of us do this now?
