Linux's downfall is the lack of applications.


Nonsense.

There is no Turbo Tax


GNUCash

No Quick Books


If I don't know what it is, so why woudld I care?

No M$ Office


Open Office, Libre Office, etc

So it depends, a crappy OS with five different apps to
do everything and gets infected with the turn of the wind
or a technically elegant OS with sparse amount of apps.


Yes, Winblows has more sophisticated applications (a term replaced by
"apps". cuz today's kids cannot express 4 syllables), but they are all
proprietary. IOW, they cost $$$$.

Yes, Winblows has more "accepted" applications/programs, but only cuz
stupid ppl are willing to spend $$$$ to solve their problems. I find
it hilarious that kids, today, can type faster with their thumbs than
I can by touch-typing on a regular keyboard, yet they are terrified of
the command line (CLI). WTF!?

Wonderful list!

I adore Ink Scape and PDF Studio.

Please note that GNU Cash DOES NOT do inventory or payroll.
