Discussion on: Do you still have Windows in your Machine?

I dual boot with Pop_OS and Windows. I use Linux almost exclusively for day to day computer tasks, work, and even games. I only switch to Windows for Adobe apps and some games that don't run well on Linux. It's true that Linux crashes more frequently than I would have liked, but it's way more lovable than Windows. I can forgive Linux shortcomings much more easily than Windows shortcomings.

I used to dev on Windows using WSL, but one time when waiting for an extra long npm install, I realized it would be ten times faster on real Linux, so I made the switch. WSL 2 seems great and all, but it'll still be worse.
