Cool. I switched to Linux and no longer care about Microsoft's BS. This continues to just reinforce that I made the correct decision.

It's honestly hard to find a reason not to switch anymore. I switched myself recently and once I get more comfortable with it, I am putting Linux on my kid's computer as well.

My kids have never used a Windows computer. Android and Linux are all they know.

Welcome!

I’ve been a linux user for maaaaany years but always dual booted to windows for gaming. Got a new pc recently and this time I ditched the windows partition. Gaming on linux has come a long way the last few years and will only get better. Feels good man.

It's great to see Linux getting better support for games. It still doesn't support many titles, but it's good to see progress.

I made the switch between Windows 8.1 and 10, but I appreciate the welcome anyway 😂

Based and open source pilled.

You do realize nobody but other Linux users care about this, right? In so tired of seeing people introduce Linux like none of us have ever heard about it.

We are aware of the other operating systems, thank you.

This is a comments section. And I commented. Sorry you don't like it, but you're welcome to scroll on by.

I hope whatever OS you use works well for you. Even if it's Windows.
