I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    Gaming and troubleshooting knowledge. I make my living using my computers, and if something goes wrong and I can’t fix it on the spot, i’m screwed.

    Last time I tried a dual boot, my rig had a wifi dongle that took me about a month to get working. It was great for a time, then all of the sudden it stopped and I couldn’t get it back. Terminal entry stuff should be a rarity too, I’m not afraid to go into it or Windows power shell but it has its own language and I don’t have time to teach myself. It seemed like every time I tried to do something, it NEVER produced the result other people were getting, and then I couldn’t find the error that I was getting.

    I want to switch quite badlly tbh, but I really do need it to be as simple and reliable as Android. Once my home server is built, I’m loading a Linux distro on it to start, then I’ll add a dual boot to my main rig.
