With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A large portion of my Steam library is compatible, but anytime I have done an install I end up giving in and going back to Windows for games.

    I have an Adobe creative suite login through my work , plus gaming - but if I ever left the company I may switch too especially if windows adds ads to the start menu - or charges for upgrades

    I have the first ever aluminium MacBook from 2008 running linux (new SSD , new battery , added ram )

      I tried to install Linux on an old Chromebook that I have, but the device is so slow that it isn’t worth spending a lot of time on lol

        With more ram and an SSD I found it was better - and I used a linux-mint made for maxbooks and with the NVIDIA driver installed it is currently good (not amazing , but I think being a 15 year old laptop , it’s better than maybe a 5 year old windows or mac computer with latest os on it (Linux can run like windows xp - super light and fast
