Comment on It's quite the burden knowing I'm always the smartest person in any given room.

uses a linux distro as my main OS

As opposed to dabbling? Nah fuck that, I’m all in, to the extent possible. I have to use Mac OS for work, otherwise I’d be fully on Linux. Fuck windows with a rusty knife.

Yeah my work computer runs Win 11 and god I hate it.

  My condolences. I used to be in that situation (windows 7 then I think) and I hated it.

Most people start with dual booting and eventually, inevitably, move to linux full time.

  I agree, I just don’t know realistically how many people use them anywhere near equally for very long. I’ve been 99% on Linux for 5 years. That 1% is basically just me keeping a windows partition for security. I end up logging into it once every 4-6 months but I don’t truly “need” it almost ever.

    “Dual booting” as a concept is flawed anyways. You cant use both partitions so you gravitate towards one of the other (usually just linux; otherwise it’d be only windows anyways)

    Yeah that’s kinda what I’m saying. It takes effort/money to keep using both unless it’s a work provided machine with the non preferred os

    Well you can with a hypervisor, but why bother when you can just run windows VM in linux… until you discover some game anticheats like battleye went out of their way to detect and block virtualization of any kind, so you need to boot windows natively sometimes. Of course you could go the other way and run linux vm inside windows but then all the flexibility of a linux system is lost in a rigid windows wrapper, which makes it kinda pointless…

Ugh… I feel your pain.

Linux full time at home, bazzite/steamOS for games. Mint for the media center. Debian on proxmox for homelab, and early attempts to not hurt myself with nix for the laptop.

But I support windows/OSX at work, so I have to keep up with all three worlds.
