I'm not interested in getting better in OS arcana. Or at least another OS. "I've learned so much." "I've gotten better." Learned what? Better at what? At using Linux? Duh.

No one ever brings up anything that's not idiosyncratic to Linux.

And I'm a gamer. For all the recent improvement, gaming on Linux is still dogshit.

Don't get me wrong, not fanboying here, I use Linux on an almost daily basis, in a basic fashion, admittedly. Yet to see any advantage, anything that would make me go "oh I wish Windows did that" or "had this". I'm curious though, if anyone can sell me on the idea of Linux.

If I started my computing life on Linux, it'd probably be the other way around, but it's not.
