I’ve been dual booting on and off since 2004, but the big switch came in 2016 with DXVK making my games not run like ass.

I had enough of Windows. I had an older motherboard and the windows drivers were terrible for the sound card causing me to have to reinstall them manually all the time. Sometimes I’d leave a video transcoding and windows would reboot to update. After each update I’d spend the time to get rid of the bloat ware like King games, Xbox garbage etc. Once after an update I woke up to the windows 10 “Welcome to your computer” screen, and it decided during the night that it was going to erase my user profiles.

The most frustrating thing though, is that for all these issues I’m locked out from correcting them, or preventing them, or even checking what happened. Windows obfuscates so much in the name of “user experience” that any effort to diagnose a problem or fix a problem usually results in reinstalling being the best solution.

Also, Settings/Control Panel is a mess and really shows the lack of coherence in the OS. Linux isn’t completely coherent by design, Windows is by ineptitude.
