Linux vs Windows because it's a matter of taste

You are talking about quantity over quality.
I even can't call some games a game, which are included as game for linux. 3k games is nothing when there is many games that can't be even considered for playing. Yep, there are few AAA games, but few, not 50, not 30, few. It's just not comparable with windows, i know u have your own personal preferences, but be more real when u are talking about it.
U missed a point, i didn't say that it is something hard or something that only experienced users can do, but that it's not and it is not as easy as on windows. It will be always, a few step more, and not all games are compatible. Used linux about 6 months ago. I am glad that gap in perfomance is small, and i hope it will be non existent in future.
I love constructive discussions ?

Razor my personal preferences aside, Linux is fairly easy for the average user at this point. It has enough games to satisfy, plenty of software that works, and none of Windows' idiosyncrasies to deal with.

We can keep arguing all day, and opinions would stay same. Maybe there can be some topic about this theme.
But, i have a question for you. What do u think about solus, a linux distro?

Frink Which my PC has no issues running. ?

Arkinn

Linux all the way for me, with two minor exceptions, Photoshop and Flight Sim ? I have a dedicated Windows laptop for that which rarely (if ever) gets connected to the net, only to transfer files for new planes.

But as a general rule for me, I lean towards favouring linux as my primary OS.

IMO Windows has really taken a bad turn, after 7 I stopped using it on a daily basis.

Nice to see topic about this theme.
But more fitting title would be matter of needs, rather than taste.

In all seriousness Linux CentOS just for process management, system security, and uptime. ?

I like Windows 10 LTSB - Long Term Service Branch

It doent come with Cortana or Edge or other bloat, and does not auto update to the newest anniversary or creative whatever like the other versions do.
Made specifically for computers in doctor offices, ATM machines, research lab computers.
For those that don't want the newest updates and just need to maintain a working OS.
(not for gamers)

Not sure why nobody just installs the Pro or Enterprise version within a VM, install all the applications they need and just make a snap shot to return to.

M$ give out free VMs for testing:

These virtual machines expire after 90 days. We recommend setting a snapshot when you first install the virtual machine which you can roll back to later.

This link explains that M$ provides free Windows 10 Home and Pro versions and what kind of features are not available after the trial ends. Seems if it doesn't bother you as much as paying for it does, then bonus.

Personal note: macOS emulates Windows far better than Windows can emulate a Mac.
