Good thing that not one OS is Windows in our household and workshop.

There is literally no advantage in using Windows anymore for us.

Great for you! My only reasons to stay stuck with Windows are 1. anti-cheat and 2. niche programs that don't work correctly under Linux because they use several Windows programs in daisy-chain

I'm currently trying my best to substitute the latter one of them using free software tools, I'm currently facing a technical problem though. As for anti-cheat, I'm dropping Destiny 2 as soon as I finish the main story
