How does Windows cause health issues?

[Maledictus]

High blood pressure.

This. I had also become violent towards my machines, punching and kicking them several feet up.

[FartyMcFarter]

This sounds like a mostly separate issue which you should get help for. Operating systems, by themselves, do not cause people to kick things.

[dunefox]

They absolutely do. I could not develop on windows without anger management classes.

[FartyMcFarter]

To be a bit clearer: I get that operating systems can be very annoying, but kicking things is not a healthy reaction to being annoyed.

If you kick things just because you're irritated, please seek professional help, and don't blame it all on Windows.

[giantDinosaur]

Why did you punish the machines for the software? :(

Edit: Ah, I see, you removed the violent rage towards machines running windows part.

[Jugurtha]

I was young and immature and started doing that after I tried everything. I was also stuck with a "faulty" RAM which I couldn't replace that I thought was causing this. That situation occurred often enough and right when I really didn't want it to happen - like saving work - that it became irritating.

Maybe they can’t use it because of health issues that cause them to need special accessibility tools that are unavailable on the platform.

[Arainach]

.....that ARE available on Linux? Accessibility is a mess on Linux.

[saagarjha]

Linux isn't the only other major OS.

[maheart]

You're exposed to more viruses.

>How does Windows cause health issues?

It is not that Windows caused health issues, but my reaction to Windows was not healthy. Bear in mind that before switching, I had only used DOS but mainly Windows for almost two decades. Let's say we grew apart over the years.
