  Have fun with that then. Sorry about your balls.

  If you’re competent and technologically saavy enough to use a Linux distro as your daily driver, you can learn to make Windows work for you too.

  Waste of effort if you don’t need to interact with any Windows environments for school or work, but definitely possible.

  For me? I’m happy to get paid to automate shit using PowerShell that should have been basic built in functionality from the start. PowerShell is just the most convenient scripting language due to being packed-in with most Windows installs, and tons of built in functionality for interfacing with other Microsoft products. So as long as Microsoft keeps sucking, I’ve got a comfy paycheck.

  And if the year of the Linux desktop ever finally happens? I’m ready, I’ll be cheering, and I’ll be ready to get paid helping companies to make the switch.

    After learning too much about Linux it’s impossible for me to use Windows.

    It hurts me at every step, making me question my life and everyones sanity who handles that stuff.

    It’s very very bad and nobody will pry Gentoo from my hands.

      It’s very rough coming back after 20+ years. Easy things on Linux quickly become a wasted day going down six trillion rabbit holes on Windows before you can even accomplish your seemingly simple task. Most problems in Windows are much more easily resolved by booting into Linux to make the repairs.

      The few times I tried bash it was awful.
      At least Powershell let’s me manipulate data more freely and organized.

      But Linux has way cooler packages (Window Server 2025 finally implemented winget ootb).

        I have not used PowerShell that much, because I’m so used to bash that it felt foreign.

        There are other shells you can try, more modern, perhaps they will be more to your liking.

    Linux has been fine as a desktop since i386 days.

  I’d definitely rather boot windows, but to each his own.
