    Well, yeah, I get that… Still, there’s quite a bit about Windows that annoys me, and there’s really nothing I do on Windows that Linux can’t handle. I’ve already looked it up, and the little gaming I do does work pretty well on Linux too, reportedly.

    So I find myself thinking… Why am I on Windows? I could be on Linux and ditch Microsoft. It’s just some anxiety, fear that things’ll break. At the end of the day, I have more confidence that, if something goes wrong, I can fix it in Windows, but may not be able to fix it in Linux. Hope I’m making sense here.

      Again, you can always dual boot, just in case.

      What I do is dual boot and “share” a partition between them, so if windows or Linux breaks I can just swap to the other, no problemo.

      As somebody who really recently migrated to linux, shit will ‘break’ and part of the fun is scouring wikis and random forums to get things working and the absolute rush that comes when you figure something out

        Look, I enjoy fun with computers as much as the next guy, but if I need to get something done I don’t want to go scouring… If I need to get in a meeting and the audio is fucked or the bluetooth broke or something, that’s a big problem…
