Or switch to Linux and never look back. I’ve been using it for close to 4 years now and the only time I almost miss Windows is when having to make a PowerPoint presentation. Everything else is better on Linux, including gaming.
Not being contradictory here, but legitimately interested to hear how gaming is better on Linux? I know nothing about the OS… Is there driver support from Nvidia now? Do games work natively in linux? Is it an uphill battle to get things to work with it? Not looking for an argument, just enlightenment.
Linux Gaming is worse than Windows gaming for obvious reasons, but it’s in much better state than 5 years ago.
You should check out protondb and see for yourself regarding the hardware/software config you should do. If you are ready to play the game to run the game, then you can pretty much try out Linux. Many games in Steam/Lutris don’t need any additional tweaks and work with nearly the same performance as Windows games, some work better, some work worse because of Wine/DXVK/… implementations are made.
Native games usually run great.
Same here. Also with the PowerPoint problem. For everything else there are perfect replacements but the Libre office alternative for power point is a joke
I use Linux at home around 5 years already.
It was bumpy ride, but it made me better professional.
Still I work(ed) in companies that use Windows and M$ apps extensively, but overall my experience is inferior and productivity suffers. At least now I can and need to use WSL because all the cloud stuff daily drives Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL anyway.
