I'm same as you (Linux long time), stuck to Ubuntu for the last good 5-7 years simply because I get things done. I don't need to compile, fix, theme, etcs... it does everything I need it to do right out of the box. It's ability to handle my 4 displays is superior to what I've been able to achieve in windows 10, so I only boot to win10 to fortnite :) where I get no things done lol

Cool enough.

Note: If I actually had Fortnite on my machine my children would steal it.

Lol... that's why they have 2 of their own in their "toy" room, we do squads in fornite, and they do minecraft together.. I do catch my son my machine once in a while... he likes my gaming setup, even though it's obviously for coding, not gaming ;)

I'm not a Windows hater by any stretch (I fix it for a living), but I still feel more at "home" with Linux... not sure how to explain it...

I'm still a little torn. The activist side of me says stay loyal to Linux..other wise Windows is just fine. I'm sure if I tried it I would probably find the Mac not all that bad either.

There's that, then if we add in the conspiracy theory side of us, using a system that's closed source makes you always wonder what it is that they do with your information, personal privacy nowadays is very quickly comfortably settling in to history. I like at least knowing that it's the corporations spying on me... not my own PC.
