For real. With the improvements to running windows applications(games) on Linux over the last year it’s perfectly fine for the majority of pc users.

So why don't Windows users switch at this point?

Because Windows is also perfectly fine for running Windows applications & games. It can also be a royal pain in the arse to set up Windows emulation on Linux depending on your graphics card and some other factors.

It's actually easier to get Linux running on Windows since it has WSL. I have Ubuntu running under Windows with IntelliJ open at the moment and postgres running in the background right now.

I guess that's a fair compromise.
