It's not really about what I can and can't/won't do with either of the 
two. I could probably go Linux full time and not be phased in the 
slightest, aside from gaming. I just choose not to at this time.

I have a server machine running ESXi, with 3 Linux VMs (hosts all of my 
servers) and a Windows XP VM (I installed to tinker with old BBS 
softwares). Then I have two desktops that I built for gaming (one was 
handed down to my son when I built the next one) that run Windows (10 on 
one, 11 on the other). I also have Virtualbox installed on my Windows 11 
machine that has a couple Linux distros installed on it just to check 
out some of the new offerings in desktop environments (these get added 
and deleted often).

So again, reiterating my first paragraph, it's just personal choice, 
really. While Linux gaming is getting better all the time, most of the 
latest and greatest games to choose from aren't offered there just yet. 
Hopefully, some day they will be which would probably be the last straw 
of keeping Windows around, for me at least.

Regards,
Nick
