It's funny because if Linux was where it is now, 10ish years ago, I probably would have stuck with it. All I cared about then was basic computering and gaming, both of which are well handled at this point.

Problem is now I've spent a decade honing my skills on specialized programs that don't have good replacements, and realistically even if they did, compatibility and years of learning specific programs have locked me in to Windows.
