And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

So serious question - are you supposed to dual boot window / Linux for some reason?

When I got frustrated with Windows - I wiped my hard drive and just installed Linux mint having literally never used Linux in my life. I didn't like mint so I tried pop_os (someone here recommended it, thanks again!) and I see zero reason to go back to Windows now.

What is the point of going back to Windows when I can run everything i ran before on Linux now?

My games work better and I've found so many free open source alternatives to everything - it's been really eye opening just jumping in. I'm glad I did.

Edit - I should have clarified Windows other than work, I understand Windows is the life blood of the corporate body - good points on forrnite / valorant / destiny - I don't play those so I didn't know.

I dual boot purely as a way to help me separate my hobbies. Windows is where I play my games. Linux is where I stay on to my work or work on my personal projects. Separating the OS's is basically just an organizational set up and it works for me.

Funny, it's the opposite for me haha. Windows on work laptop. Linux on play laptop.
