I could probably go Linux full time and not be phased in the        slightest, aside from gaming. I just choose not to at this time.              I have a server machine running ESXi, with 3 Linux VMs (hosts all of my        servers) and a Windows XP VM (I installed to tinker with old BBS        softwares). Then I have two desktops that I built for gaming (one was        handed down to my son when I built the next one) that run Windows (10 on        one, 11 on the other). I also have Virtualbox installed on my Windows 11        machine that has a couple Linux distros installed on it just to check        out some of the new offerings in desktop environments (these get added        and deleted often).              So again, reiterating my first paragraph, it's just personal choice,        really. While Linux gaming is getting better all the time, most of the        latest and greatest games to choose from aren't offered there just yet.        Hopefully, some day they will be which would probably be the last straw        of keeping Windows around, for me at least.              Regards,       Nick              ...
