    5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

    • Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

    • Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

    • You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

    • Your company policy requires it

    • Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

    Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Linux at all.

      you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

      Kinda the reverse for me

      I need to fiddle with Massgrave and various debloat scripts to run win

      Your applications/games only work well on native Windows

      Windows for docker, winboat, etc

      serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

      I would argue sudo and normal file permissions do the same

      Makes helping Windows users harder
