Way too late…I switched away from Windows 100% already. Linux works perfectly fine.

Too many of the programs I use are Windows only.

Like what? I’ve found alternatives or many run just fine using Wine. Might run a little slower if your computer is older, but likely everything else is running faster on Linux anyway, so it makes up for it.

I use many proprietary pieces of software that are only available for Windows.

Tell that to someone that uses fusion 360 to earn their living.

If you are just going to Facebook and downloading movies and stuff sure…

Linux is great for my home server, terrible for my main machine.

Your problem is using your personal machine for work.

Why the hell would I buy an entire different machine just for web browsing and games? Should also get a third one for porn? Lol

It’s great that Linux works for you but you need to realize that it does not work for everyone yet. Your experience is not the same as everyone else’s. If I could run every application I need on Linux I would switch today. I am not happy about my dependence on Windows, but I live in reality
