By skyforbes When I switched to Linux in 2018, I dropped Windows like a hot potato. I had zero use for it and it would have just unnecessarily eaten up a lot of disk space. I was pretty much done with Windows in 2018 because Windows 10 was slower than molasses on a perfectly running machine. I saw no point in upgrading the system I had just so I could run Windows 10. I was tired of doing that.
I've still got my old Windows 95 system, Old XP system and I think another one. I used my Windows 7 system with Linux after Windows 10 came out. Ran it 4 more years before things started dying on it. That was a first. Allowing the system to slow down and die on me was a first. Usually, the machine lasted up until I needed to upgrade Windows. And half the time it wouldn't run on the older system where the previous version ran great. Well, I was pretty much done shelving a perfectly good system just to replace an OS. And I'm kinda glad I did that. Windows 10 & 11 I'm reading have been giving people the most problems. I think they just made it too secure now.
So, I've been done with Windows since 2018. I'm interested to know the overall feeling of dual booting Linux and Windows. I did do this myself back in 2007-2008 for about 6 months. I did a hard drive swap between Windows and Linux. Worked really well but I noticed, I spent 80% of my time in Linux while the other 20% was me editing photos in Windows. There wasn't really a good RAW file editor in Linux at the time so I kinda had to rely on Photoshop and Lightroom for that kind of stuff. The rest of the time, I spent in Linux. Ubuntu mainly.
So, I'm just wondering how many people are dual booting Windows 10 or 11 with a Linux distro. ANY Linux distro really. And why do you still use Windows? I'm expecting a lot of gaming reasons which I totally get.
