I use Linux a lot on my work laptop, its dual booted, because I'm a .NET desktop application developer, I need Windows... there is actually no getting away from my requirement for Windows.. the other thing is gaming... I may be 40, but gaming has been since i was 4, and will be a big part of my life for years to come, and I'll be so real, I've used Linux on my personal machines heaps over the years, but I literally can't be bothered... sure, Linux has a million benefits, but none of them outweigh 32 years of Windows muscle memory... and you can certainly pair Windows 11 back to strip out the bloat and the ai nonsense, that's all possible.. you can even disable updates without too much hassle if youre so inclined...
I have just built my new rig and installed Windows on it today, and I'm quite happy... performance is incredible PI benchmark is 4~5x faster than my previous dual xeon rig...
I understand the reasoning for Linux, and it's not that I don't know it, because for all the backend go code I write at work. I have to use linux because of my teams tooling choices, but I'm not about to make my personal computing experience even remotely frustrating or difficult. I don't get enough spare time to be in the pc anymore, the last thing I want is to have to fight 32 years of muscle memory just because I'm scared of ai or subscription licensing..
