I use windows because that's where I can play overwatch and fortnite. That's literally the only reason. And photoshop, but krita is almost just as good. If I didn't play games not available on Linux I'd probably use Ubuntu instead. Why? Easy to install, very customizable, better for programming, scriptable.
Fortnite will probably never work on Linux. (And to me that's a good thing lmao) But I know Overwatch works perfectly fine at least.
Following my message I tried to dual boot. Turns out my laptop is incompatible with default Nvidia drivers and my screen stopped working with it so after days of research and trying again, I had to go back to Windows, just to get the big monitor to have display.
oh no, linux mint doesn't have all the bloat and is more suitable.
I have used it. I liked it. I don't know why I don't pick it over Ubuntu. It's been over a year since my last formatting spree. Any time windows goes poop I put live distros on like 7 usb drives and start formatting my computer like crazy testing and testing. Some are buggy here, some are buggy there, some are broken out of the box and take some effort to fix it, and ultimately I had for some reason decided that Ubuntu had the best base state and kept maybe xubuntu? Idk. It's been too long. I'll need another spree. But not soon! I'm gaming too much.
