    Unless you have to collaborate with others who use said Windows only apps and you can’t afford compatibility issues.

      Like what, what format would this be? Regardless every company I have ever worked for issue me a laptop with windows anyway, so why would the OS I choose to use on hardware I own be a factor for work? Even then, if they didn’t I don’t know of any format that I would need that would be an issue.

        Okay that’s fair, you don’t try to do any work in your Linux box and things work out. Great.

          Not sure about your life, but I don’t count things I enjoy as “work” especially when its not work. I enjoy using Linux, I enjoy my home lab why should I need to justify it when it brings me joy? Linux works for me and my workflow, just because it doesn’t work for yours, don’t try to shit on other people.

            No no, no justification required :). It isn’t also about working or not for me. It is just that there’s a bunch of people arguing around here that Linux (desktop) is great for every use case be it work or play under any circumstance, while it isn’t.

              I never made such a comment. Gaming, for me is a big reason why I only have windows installed on my PC (and adobe) there are games which work on Linux (either natively or with Proton) but some games I play, don’t. Theres no point in me dual booting as, let’s be honest, dual booting just adds more steps and overcomplicates things. I use Linux on my laptop as the alternatives I use (Darktable and Kdenlive) are more than good enough for when I’m on my laptop (its not exactly a powerhouse) but when I’m on my desktop I want to use Lightroom, Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve as they are more refined and fit my workflow better.

              Unraid on my server is just because its exactly what I need.
