I have 7 computers now. all are dual boot or Linux only.
I only have one Win 10 only and that is because of my wifes
games that won’t work on Linux.
Don’t ask why I have so many computers.

I really could not care less which operating system that I am using most of the time. I sometimes run Linux in virtual machines but more for fun than anything else. I have a lot of software that I have spent decades working with that has no equivalent in Linux or would be extremely difficult to transition to. For example, one of my hobbies is designing parts to print using my 3D Printer. None of my favorite software for this runs on Linux. And it is often a problem to get Linux to run well on many types of hardware.

I get a big kick out of people here who think that they are special because they have been able to load Linux up on their computers and use an internet browser, word processor, spread sheet or some type of game on it. Congratulations to them all, but most of us have dabbled in Linux over the past 30 years or so. For various reasons Microsoft is still what most of us rely on for most tasks.

I got kind of the same thing. I got one main tower and it tri-boots W7/10/Linux. I got another computer that is only W7 and I use it for movie/video storage. My laptop is dual boot with W7/Linux.

I'm thinking of removing W10 from my main tower and going with just W7/Linux on it. I absolutely have no trust in W10 at all.

lol...I just did an mental inventory based upon your post. I have 6. Two persons in the house. I’m not even sure what one of them does; but I am certain that if I disable it Western civilization as we know it will end.
