What is so precious on Linux that you cannot do on Windows? Dynamic Tiling? - Komorebi. TUI file manager? -Yazi. Custom themes, and bars? -Yep. Bash? -Yep (along with uutils). GPU accelerated terminal emulator? - multiple including Windows Terminal.
What you’re giving up on Linux is most professional industry standard productivity software, and many of the games real gamers actually want to play (not all crap that pirates collect). You’re giving up security by default (Arch, Gentoo and the like along with TWMs will have people storing browser passwords in the equivalent of a text file for just one example). You give up an OS that evolved to deal better without ECC memory (todays Windows is far more resilient to bitflips).
Even FOSS software runs better on Windows. VLC causing Linux to seize was just one of many examples.
So yes, I agree that for 99.9% of people, dual booting is a waste of disk space.
What is so precious on Windows that you cannot do on Linux?
Sell my telemetry to the highest bidder? Give me ads in my desktop? Force AI into every request i make? Capture images of everything I do and store them against my wishes so that malware can come in and access that? You want to be the target of practically every worm/virus/botnet out there? You want what is demonstrably the worst history of security for any desktop OS with one of the most bypassed antivirus systems in existence?
What you’re giving up with Windows are a few handfulls of games with kernel-level anti-cheat that already fail to keep people from cheating. You want to play Roblox right? It’s FULL of players, you must! Fortnight? Super important titles.
Of course then you have things like Outlook that are already being replaced by Electron apps that exactly the same on linux in a browser.

Right,
The only people concerned about Telemetry are conspiracy theorists. The other 80% of people don’t care, and a good amount of them understand that it’s used for improving software.
What Linux advocates call ads are introductions to features and things that would benefit them, and they’re far easier to turn off than switching OSes.
Many of us have been using Windows without ever encountering a virus. -I went out of my way to get one so I could test my skills on it (only time and I’m 55).
There are far more than just ‘kernel level AC games’. We’ve seen this propaganda for years while Proton keeps realease new compatibility updates. Also, even your Linux loving LTT called ProtonDB a what? Only recently did WINE (not Proton) fix the frame timing issue that made some games unbeatable mid-game (far worse than not working).
Most people aren’t bothering with an email client these days.

You can call me a conspiracy theorist, I can say you’re a paid troll. That’s easy, this is a fun game.

I cannot wait to start benefitting from “7 tips for handling hot summer hikes”, or “Get Skype”, or “Rousey more than ‘most dominate athelete’”
Many of us have been using Windows without ever encountering a virus.
Most of us, of working age in offices the early 00’s have numerous zero day worms. There was no protection.

The gall of you to call out propaganda, while pointing to a windows propaganda site, while cherry-picking and spilling out bald-faced lies in your post.

Tell me, do you want improving software or not, you’re giving out some real mixed signals.
Only recently did WINE (not Proton) fix the frame timing issue that made some games unbeatable mid-game (far worse than not working).
The real difference is not only is stuff running faster, they’ll keep releasing updates for shit that gets broken, that’s part of understanding how to improve software.
Most people aren’t bothering with an email client these days.
55 and already retired? Man that must be nice.
I have’t seen a company in 50 years that doesn’t use email. And, wasn’t the use of corporate software that doesn’t run in linux one of your primary propaganda targets? You really need to make up your mind on that one.
This is a great example of a comment that wasted energy for no good reason at all, you could have spent it all in your industry standard productivity game instead and nothing would have changed

Turn that on its head.

Wine also makes numerous games run at a higher frame rate than windows. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47507150

Stay private and technologically independent.
@cannedtuna
Propaganda.
@madthumbs Have you noticed where you are, lol?
Just peek at his profile and it will all make sense.
TL;DR don’t feed the troll.
@orlyowl The guy be like
I think you have misunderstood my comment in some fundamental way.
what does it matter?
If you do everything right. For most people you’re just standing there with your dick, or clam, out.

“real gamers” lmao
