Hot take (?): For anyone who has made the switch, it was the year or the Linux desktop. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Nah I definitely was giving stuff up to use Linux back in the day. Really, I'd say 2021 was when things got REALLY good.

I'm assuming you mean gaming? Yeah, I rarely boot into Windows these days, honestly.

Whatever it is though, it's always a compromise. There are things with Windows we can't get on Linux still, and there have been things with Linux which Windows still hasn't provided, for decades. Either way you go is a trade-off. But when I installed Linux and started using it more than Windows, I consider that my year or the Linux desktop. When the only thing I booted Windows for was to launch Steam.
