Windows is trying to both maintain backwards compatibility and lock-in. That’s pretty hard at the best of times, moreso when you didn’t initially have lock-in. If I can get my games working on Linux (i hear it’spossible, but I need time), the only reason I’ll have to use Windows will be work-related.
@Quexotic@GreyEyedGhost for what it’s worth I’ve been working on Linux servers professionally for 15 years and I use a windows desktop and an osx laptop both personally and for work. I can’t think of a particular advantage a Linux client environment would give you. The last thing I want to do in either place is extra work making my local environment functional.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

My new job has me doing a lot with Linux. Might be the push I need to just pull the trigger. Certainly the OS is cheaper.

Me too, but as much time as I’d spend decrapifying windows, I could spend learning Linux
