    I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

    It’s both.

    I’m only dual booting because I’m a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

        Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.

        That’s okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.

      I had that attitude for a while too. Eventually you realise that having to reboot your system for a handful of games isn’t worth it. Nowadays I just don’t buy games that don’t run on Linux.

      Eventually we will reach a critical mass where game developers will actively develop for Linux, rather than being reliant on compatibility layers.

        Yeah, about half of my library already runs on Linux.

        The problem I have now is that, soon, I’m gonna want to do a reinstall so Linux can have more disk space. :) My PC’s pretty fast, so the reboot doesn’t really bug me all that much.
