Reflecting that I haven't had to use Windows on my personal devices for over 7 months now. I make art, game, write, and stream on Linux.
Sure it's not perfect and I do lean a lot on WINE but I didn't think I would be able to tolerate it...

@feff Is WINE an acronym for something useful on Linux? I’m at 6 months on Linux, but I’m coming from Mac.

@feff I've been using Linux as my desktop for the best part of 30 years, mixed in with Solaris for a while. It really is never an issue for me but all I do is program, write reports and papers, listen to music and watch videos. Currently, I'm stuck using windows as my work desktop, though we do most of our work using wsl on a virtual azure windows box. That way we can install software that we need without having to raise a ticket with central IT services and waiting a week.
