For me, it's simple, it's gaming. As soon as I can run competitive online games on Linux, I'll switch fully. Meanwhile, my non gaming computer runs Linux, but my gaming rig runs Windows.
Enjoy getting fucked by the corporate rootkits. I hope your gaming PC is just for gaming.
Same. I have a gaming PC with Windows 11 only use it for gaming. Everything else, I do it on my laptop.
Nowadays games that donβt run are rare but they still exist. One of my favorite games, BF1, sadly stopped working on Linux after they introduced anti cheat (on the other hand, at least now there are no cheaters spamming artillery)
I also have a meta quest and the best software to link the headset to the PC, Virtual Desktop, sadly also doesnβt work on linux

Fair enough, but most solutions to restrict data gathering by windows are often worked around by Microsoft via eventual windows updates which is a perpetual risk. In my experience, using Linux is less of a headache in the long run.
As a Linux user, I don't really get it? What is the term supposed to signify? Why is the Linux dude in a well? I have so many questions
Doc, it hurts when I do this...
My friend recently switched and I almost lost him from him desperately wanting to use Ableton. He switched to LMMS though and seems to have found more positive than negative from switching now.
Edit addition: If someone near me wants to switch then I'll help them, I'll even recommend it to them, but I'll also let them know what things won't work and what things would need to be switched when they do so.
Of course none of that will stop me from getting a little smile when a Windows user complains about Windows in any form
