I switched from Win 10 to Ubuntu around 2019 and it’s a blast to play on Linux.

    Not at all because my father only had Linux pcs, that’s why I’ve been a Linux user for my whole life.

    I technically left about 9 years ago, 2014. The problem was, when university started, digital exams could only be provided in Windows or Mac (for the application). Bullshit I know, but that forced me to go back to Windows (and the only reason). Now I have some other courses in University and I switched to Archlinux with this student laptop.

    And the difference is night and day, my old laptop ran Linux ok but most functions didn’t work. This laptop (from 2019, Latitude 7390) works better on Linux, the headphone jack can work as both headphones and microphone (at the same time), something the Windows drivers doesn’t let you do.

    I’ve been using linux for almost 3 years now. Just recently installed windows on another nvme so I could play Alan Wake with good performance on nvidia. I finished it and now i’m back on linux.

    What I miss is playing 4k HDR movies, but it’ isn’t that important.

    2018ish. I used Linux for a while alongside windows, then eventually exclusively for over a year. Then had to use windows for a bit but with the aim of always returning to Linux. Then last year I switched back and have been using it ever since. I still have a windows partition on my laptop and a drive with windows on my desktop, but I haven’t touched either since switching to Linux except to play a game my gf wanted to play with anticheat.

    I get constantly accused buy a few around here for being a Windows shill. But consider this. How is total reliance on Windows software define “Leaving Microsoft.”? As I Windows shill, I’d have no problem using Linux full time if it meant that Linux supported 100% or more of Windows without all the recriminations and no need for Proton.

    Hell, I got blasted from a few folks around here for giving away a top line OG Stem Deck. Blame the user to me is a Linux trademark.
