I have my computer dual booted (Windows 10 and Manjaro) and I set up a dev environment in WSL 2 and tried it out for a week. I just got a new graphics card before doing this too. I was on Windows, so why not play a game, right?

After about a week I switched back to Manjaro and I felt like I was home again. I downloaded the same (Dark Souls 3) and it's just as beautiful and performant on Windows. I didn't have to install any drivers for my new graphics card either, which was nice.

I don't think I'll ever go back to Windows. I love open source, and I love GNU/Linux, and I love Manjaro. I've got my setup and I'm sticking to it.

Also, my Linux has access to my Windows files, but my Windows doesn't have access to my Linux files. Which is pretty lame on Windows end.
