It feels faster and it seems to use up less storage.

It feels like I no longer have to play tug of war with microsoft with owning my own device.

I'm still running Windows 10 on my main PC because I have ~40 niche software needs and I haven't had time to research Linux alternatives. But I'm running Linux on a number of the other machines I manage.

Speaking of which, is there a free software you'd recommend for video capture on Linux?

OBS Studio has a Linux version. Or do you have more specific needs?

There is only 1 windows specific program that stopped me from moving over to Linux sooner but I just got it to work in Linux.
I could not get it to work with wine but luckily I found another way to run it.

@Gamers_Mate @doingthestuff if it is a software & not a game then shame cause VMs have been around since many decades, then again, you also can make a VM with GPU passthrough so even games are not a problem, unless it is an app like Pokemon Go that doesn't run on Virtualized hardware
