    I feel attacked lol my reason was literally COD. That and I haven't had the capacity to dive into running Linux yet...

    Because the time to learn a new operating system is more than I have to spare. I'm approaching middle aged, windows is familiar and I just want to kick back and enjoy my games.

    Linux hasn't reached drop-in replacement on the desktop yet. The steam deck is fantastic and I have no problems running it stock, but desktop Linux? Nah. Why would I dual boot when I can stick to one OS that does what I want and need.

    (Side note: I run Linux on my server and am quite happy with it).

    Windows changed shit up on me too many times, I kept having to relearn where the dick they hid the control panel, for instance. At a certain point I realized if I'm having to put in the time to relearn shit on windows every new version, why not just learn linux? At least I'm learning because I'm getting into something new and exciting by choice instead of being pissed I have to relearn it because some dickhead moved it around on me!

    That was actually my experience. My Win 7 laptop died, I needed a new computer, bought one that came with Windows 8.1, and everything was different for no reason, down to whether you left click or right click on the system tray icons to get menus or control panel windows to appear. Switching from Windows 7 to Linux Mint felt like less of a jump, and the changes between versions of MInt aren't that drastic; they don't reshuffle the UI on a whim.

    There are only a few mouse models that fulfill my requirements and software support for them is bad even on windows. I'm currently on Razer and Roccat, the software is slow, heavy and convoluted, but it's the only way to use the devices to their full potential. There's no way to get the drivers for Linux and that's a deal breaker for me.

    Windows 11? I have Windows 10 in dual but using Linux only, I just don't want to remove everything even if Windows is shit... I'm only disappointed there's no Affinity Designer on linux :( I know it's full of alternatives but I like the UI and I'm used to it

    For work. And that's only until I can get my workflow converted fully

    i played valorant then tried cs2 and preferred that, and as a benefit it runs on linux

    I've just spent the last 6 hours troubleshooting steam input on 3rd party flatpaks, also alacarte has a bug that doesn't let you save property changes, also I can't use vim as root anymore for some reason I don't care to look into, also symlinking some of my media was a pain. Band-aid solutions have been found for the first 3 and the last was me being an idiot and not having a GUI solution to symlinks because Nautilus is arse compared to ms file explorer.

    I fucking hate pop-os and flatpaks, cosmic launcher is a pile of junk, and my 4k monitor has created an infinite amount of scaling issues to work through.

    Windows was a slow burn of minor inconvenience, Linux is a series of kicks in the nuts.

    This is exactly why I'm not using windows on this box. Too much hassle.

    Auto HDR... I have one HDR monitor and one SDR monitor and w11 plays nicely, Nvidia app still won't work with more than one monitor for their version of auto HDR
