I know people don't want to hear it anymore because it's beating a dead horse, but.... Linux.

    Honestly not being able to move the start bar and being told it won't be changed because their awful new start menu needs it that way was a dealbreaker. Been running Linux Mint exclusively on my desktop for the past few months and it's been pretty smooth, even for playing games. Thank goodness for Proton!

    Yup. Been using Linux as my primary desktop for years, I think I switched back to windows 2012-2015 or something, then I came back ever since. More and more games are using tools that are cross platform now too - like unity for example. I only imagine compatibility getting better. The installation experience has been better since live CDs were a thing too which is hilarious since windows still has a terrible install UI.

    I've been using both OSs for over 20 years and the ONLY reason I use windows is for CAD (just 2d). All the foss options have potential but are very poor options for a longtime autocad user. Wine implementation is currently broken/terrible. VM is sorta a fallback option but doesn't run as fast as a native windows machine.

    I plan on switching to Librecad or something similar but it's like a 10/20 year plan and something tells me I'll have to develop the features I want myself.
