I use Windows for work because that's what corporate likes. But at home I've been running only Linux on laptops and desktops since 2006. In 2020, I switched my mom's home computer to linux. It's been a joy.

Why does anyone use Windows at home anymore? I guess gaming is still an issue?

Something of an understatement

I can get that. FWIW I have been maintaining a 86Box image of Windows 95 with Windows Entertainment Pack (including Jezzball and Skifree), the Arcade set (Asteroid, Centipede, Missile Command, Tempest, and the tank one), Pinball, and some other stuff. Those are a bit dated at this point. I haven't played Descent II in years.
