The miserable drivers for my video card and all the other little things that required hours of fiddling with to get working right. Also, how very few programs ran 100% with WINE. I went back to the simple life to get through school but I'm now eyeing Linux for the dev experience.

steam's proton extension (or mod, whatever) to wine has really increased the number of games that run well in wine.

these days most productivity "apps" are just web based, so wine isn't as relevant.

I keep a Windows partition around for a little better (~10%) performance in intensive games, but plan to ditch it when I upgrade my CPU.

Very nice, that's good to hear. Thanks!
