Indeed!

Typing this response from my Debian Testing system. I'm needing Windows less and less. Now that I can run Elite: Dangerous using WINE, I don't even need Windows around as a game OS. I can develop my applications in the Debian system and if needed I can boot a Windows 7 or 8 VM to produce a Windows distribution of said application (Python, PySide, Qt).

Basically, everything I need to do I can do whilst not booted into Windows. I'll keep that Windows 10 partition handy to boot, just in case. Otherwise, I'm free from its shackles.

I agree. I'm on Linux and BSD now for good. The fact that MS bought GitHub was alarming enough. Their desire to get involved with Free/Libre/Open Source has an agenda. I don't think it's as innocent as it appears.
