    I’ve been running Linux on all the machines I own for years, but I still have to run Windows for work. Not everyone can just switch and I doubt there are many reading this who are unaware they could switch to Linux (or Mac, BSD, etc.).

    Oh I also have one MacBook running MacOS because Apple decided to only allow iOS development and parental controls, of all things, on Apple devices running Apple software.

    Yes MS and Apple suck but it’s not as simple as “just switch.”

      Agreed. You’re making compromises no matter what you choose as an OS.

      I was similar. I had to use windows when coding in a Microsoft only company. A change of job & technologies means I can take my own laptop in, another thing which I don’t even do so much anymore since WFH is still a thing where I work.
