        Same. I’d have stayed on Windows if Microsoft had just not been so determined to make using the OS so dreadful while also harvesting my personal data.

      I’m curious about work vs home use too. I’m guessing if you take out computers where Microsoft is mandated, it’d be more of a stark difference

        Workplaces are all about the apps. If those apps you need only run in Windows, that’s what you run. Believe me, businesses would LOVE to cut license costs.

      Been a Linux user for 20+ years but windows WAS my daily driver the last 5 of them… got fed up with all the ads and plans for the screen recording and pulled the plug. Linux 100% for me again!

      I was getting a couple of pop up ads in my Win10 install, and I switched a couple of months ago. The more I looked at gaming, the more I realized it could be done.

      I have seen people switch to linux or dualboot just because minecraft, a game owned by microsoft, works so much better on linux compared to windows
