love the history lesson :)

And yea, i get that a lot of devs love the 100% configuration control....personally i don't care to control every little thing so Windows has been fine for my needs.

My main beef has always been gaming. If linux has been mainstream with gaming i'd probably be using some flavor of it. I used to mess with linux OSs a lot but it's been at least 10 years since i last installed one.

I do use linux exclusively for my web servers as anyone who's on microsoft's platform, using .NET or whatever for web servers is just masochistic and wants to suffer all the time lol

Nowadays with Proton and Lutris and EAC ported to Linux, there’s not very many games that you can’t play on Linux.
