I would use Linux if it supported offline installers.

As is, I'll be sticking with heavily tweaked Windows to work with my several HDDs full of old software, and avoid the Linux headaches of repos disappearing, deciding between Snap/Appimage/DEB and general incompatibility with office documents, industrial tooling and Adobe software.

I'll only use Linux where I'm paid to at work. Thanks to Linux Torvalds' terrible software distribution model, I've had to do black magic to work around Anon's deprecation of Debian/Raspbian Stretch on which our industrial network gateways run.

You can easily store (parts or complete copies of) the repos locally. It's really convenient.
