    Windows is still a fixture in my life due to work, but I’ve ditched Windows at home for years and won’t ever go back.

      I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.

      I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.

      Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.

      Yeah, same. I use a combination of Linux and macOS at home but have a work laptop running Windows. It’s dreadful and feels like it only exists to make my tasks harder. I never find myself saying “what a useful feature!” but I often say “Ugh, why are you like this?”.
