   Hello Mortar,

   It's not really about what I can and can't/won't do with either of the    
   two. 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
