    Just finally made the jump this week. Keeping the dual boot to finish my masters in a known stable environment with all the only-necessary-for-school-programs and then gleefully deleting it as part of my graduation celebration.

      Same here! I’ve been dabbling with various linux distros a week here and a week there over the past decade. Now that I’ve finally given up on the few games that need kernel-level anticheats (like LoL and Battlefield), I’m staying permanently as all my other games work great. I probably wouldn’t have jumped ship yet if steam (proton) wasn’t where it’s at now, though.

      Since windows is on my smallest and slowest SSD I figured I’ll just keep the dual-boot option indefinitely, mainly for helping friends and family troubleshoot windows-bullshit, or for the (now very) rare moments I need an app that doesn’t exist or have an equivalent on linux.
