The fact that you were using a single version of windows and all of
Linux.
You were engaging in Hyperbole to make your point. If you want to be

You don't have to use Mandriva in such an example, but you do need to use
a single version of Linux, otherwise you come across as YAT (yet another
troll).
Your choice of course.
