As a Linux user who runs a Windows 10 dual boot, I just want it to go away. Most of us just hate Windows in general, from its closed nature to the lack of ability to customize it (compare Linux customization to Windows customization just from a desktop environment perspective and see what I mean) to Microsoft's cash-grabby nature (I've had to pay for my license of Windows 10 twice now because of hardware changes) to the fact that the sheer market size of it has lead to a lot of stuff not being properly supported on Linux, many of us just want Windows to be gone.<br><br><br> We're getting a lot closer, but the fact that I still have to dual boot to play certain games with my friends (Black Desert Online, modded Grand Theft Auto 5, and as of next year League of Legends as well as various other games with Windows-specific anti-cheat software) is a constant thorn in my side. <br><br><br>I love Linux. I'm going to be getting a Valve Index as soon as I can afford one to play VR in Linux. I do all of my work in Linux (I'm a software engineer, go figure.) I recently went ahead and sorted my steam library by proton compatibility rating. Of my 550 game library, 232 are Linux native, 72 are platinum rated, meaning 304 (more than half!) of them work flawlessly without any tweaking whatsoever. I could easily be rid of Windows if it weren't for my friends playing those games with Linux-incompatible anti-cheat. Beyond those games there's no reason to not use Linux. There's tons of user-friendly options out there, there's RGB support for Razer and Corsair thanks to the community (imagine that being official support!), and thanks to the power of web-based applications there's nothing a professional can do on Windows that can't be done on Linux aside developing Windows programs. <br><br><br>Pretty much the only thing Linux isn't amazing at is the same stuff that Windows isn't amazing at: music and audio work. Not that it can't be done at all, but the reputation of Mac's audio capabilities precedes it. Don't get me wrong, Apple's entire closed ecosystem can follow Windows into oblivion, I just don't have nearly as much to say because I have the option of avoiding Apple and Mac. I don't have the option of avoiding Microsoft and Windows unless I want to cut my friends out of my life.
