    So serious question - are you supposed to dual boot window / Linux for some reason?

    When I got frustrated with Windows - I wiped my hard drive and just installed Linux mint having literally never used Linux in my life. I didn’t like mint so I tried pop_os (someone here recommended it, thanks again!) and I see zero reason to go back to Windows now.

    What is the point of going back to Windows when I can run everything i ran before on Linux now?

    My games work better and I’ve found so many free open source alternatives to everything - it’s been really eye opening just jumping in. I’m glad I did.

    Edit - I should have clarified Windows other than work, I understand Windows is the life blood of the corporate body - good points on forrnite / valorant / destiny - I don’t play those so I didn’t know.

      I used to dual boot for some work tasks and to play games. With OnlyOffice and Office365 in a browser, I can do everything I used to need desktop Window apps for. With Wine, Proton, and Proton-GE I can play all of my games in Steam or Heroic Launcher, so I don’t need Windows for games anymore.

      There is still a usecase for people who need Windows for specific usecases; but for most people the only obstacle is learning curve (and don’t come at me with Mint, Ubuntu, and ElemntaryOS you’re lying to yourselves).
