The linux community is split cleanly in two.
Those with way too much self-awareness and those with none at all.
I say that as someon who uses a linux distro as my main OS. (Yes I am better than you).
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.
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
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.
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.
There’s also a hierarchy. You run Mint? Lol ok kid, adults use Arch.
Sadists use Arch.
Yeah, but I just CachyOS

“…and I’ll get really pissy if anyone tries to tell me otherwise”.
If you’re gonna say windows is better than Linux in any conceivable way, yes you’re gonna hear about it from a Linux person
