I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.
I’m also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.
For me, my cad software was always windows specific. I think they have Linux versions now though.
Gaming is the other reason.
Gaming is no longer a reason, really. 99% of the time it works out of the box.
I think (although I’ve never tried to verify) Steam is making progress to make most games playable on Linux.
At his point for me it’s only CAD and Lightroom that keeps a Windows install in my machine
All the games I like run fine on Linux nowadays
F’ing Lightroom, man.
I haven’t used Lightroom or this, but there’s apparently an open-source software package named Darktable that’s similar.
