    I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

    I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it’s place, but i am so done seeing this “windows bad linux good” bs

      Ngl, you’re kind of proving their point.

      Setting up a pass through GPU for Linux gaming is obsolete knowledge. Between Proton, Lutris, and Heroic Launcher I can play my entire game library directly in Linux. I haven’t booted Windows in months.

        Wellp, i can’t. Several games dont boot, some boot but are wonky as hell. Good for you that you have everything you need, i do not. I use gaming as an example, but so many essentials are either not there, or wonky as hell. And that’s assuming you can keep the damn thing running without spending a saturday a month trying to unfuck your system after a driver update or whatever. Sure. I can get all the compatible hardware and do all the research to make sure everything probably doesnt impode, but at that point, why not just use windows.
