I disagree with this completely.

I can't really be bothered to discuss the reasons why, but Linux has a much wider range of customisation and privacy options.

You really can chose what you want to do and see / have someone else see, with Windows, Since Win 10 I feel there's something watching me so I take extra care.

I trust Chrome on my phone more than on my PC now since this lol

That's true. If you take a look at their privacy policy, you really get a feeling that you're under surveillance 24/7.

Also, to answer CXdur:

Some of the things you are referring to can be stopped by shutting down their services on the computer, you can choose to disable them completely.

Some? So not all? Give me an example that can be "disabled" completely.

You kind of sound like a conspiracy theorist if you don't believe that this will do the trick.

So be it. I don't rely on some stupid sliders to know whether I'm being spied on or not. You don't know shit about privacy, do you?

I'm quite unknown with Linux honestly, might give it a try on a VM but not sure if it's a bit of an overkill for me in options

For Mac, my mom had one running the newest MacOS and we both hate it, she was quite sad of the huge spending she did and wanted to sell the Mac because of the OS on it. I was like 'eh lemme put Windows on what shit' and so I did.

For Windows 10, yeah a shitload of Microsoft spyware and that's why I'm sticking with my good old Windows 7.

It's not as complicated as people make it out to be. Most user-friendly distros like *ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, openSUSE and others are really intuitive and hassle-free. Of course, there are DIY-distros like Arch, Gentoo and such (I'm personally using Arch) where you can customize about everything you want and in the process learn a lot about how GNU/Linux really works.

What does she usually do on a computer? And does she like Windows on a Mac?

Don't forget, Microsoft's pushing telemetry shit to Win 7/8.1 too, sadly. Eventually they'll force you to use Windows 10, like it or not. I'm curious as to what you're gonna do then.

Idk what she does on that Mac, most likely internet browsing and email. And yes she's happy as fuck with Windows running on that Mac.

Well if that's what she's doing on a computer, I really don't see what problems would OS X pose for her.
