People are moving to Linux because they can't upgrade to Win 11 due to hardware requirements.

dual ssd, dual boot.

my windows never gets updated because any update could break gaming.

my linux gets updated daily, when something breaks it’s easy to rollback and pin.

I have a Windows VM on my main machine that I pass a GPU to for playing games. The idea was I'd just snapshot the disk so if windows hosed me I could roll back. In practice I just play games in linux through proton or native though. The Windows install always needs updates so it is a chore when I actually want to use it.

As an aside, I cannot believe how it is impossible to script the base windows install to do updates through the command line on a strict schedule! I ended up having to install some 3rd party powershell package and I still have some annoying limitations around feature updates with it. This should be built in!
