Why was that the red line for you, given all the other shit that's already in Windows?

[–] ZooGuru 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well no. It was the red like for outlook though. I already used Thunderbird on my Kubuntu setup. Outlook was fine before the top email became an add. It was also easy to integrate with my work email.

I see. I misunderstood your comment.

What's keeping you on Windows given you know "how to Linux"?

[–] ZooGuru 2 points 9 months ago

Honestly convenience. It’s easier to use for work. Also just found it easier to for gaming. At least that was true when I first started using Linux 5 or so years ago. I was dual booting on my old build and haven’t taken the time to partition a Linux distro on my new build. I run Kubuntu on a 2011 MacBook Pro for a smart home setup and I love it. The machine was almost useless and now runs about as well as any other laptop I’ve got. So I guess the short answer is I need/like having the option.
