I do run linux on one or two servers. It's fine for that, and saves me the cost of a Win license.
operating systems are just software. you can run software under any other software if you can run a compatibility layer. wine on linux can natively run all of your windows soyware. in the end, its not that difficult but it can seem so. I still prefer virtual machines to obfuscate the windows crap from my native operating system.

Yeah nvidia driver are all trash. Except on windows, nvidia barely maintains anything but windows drivers. And even those barely work for me.
All the gimp vs Adobe vs ms paint yeah whatever eye roll apples and oranges. You can run any of those easily in a in a compatibility layer. In the end I like control. I can control alot in Linux I can't control very well in wind. Also no useless features drawing up memory in the background. My os uses 500 mb when I start it up. Ads in the toolbar?? I think not.

Atleast I don't have Microsoft looking over my shoulders while I work. That's all I ask.

I guess it's your lack of control which you are accustomed to. I can build my kernel from scratch and build with only the options I want. Leave bluetooth out if I hate it whatever. You literally can't look into the nt kernel. It's proprietary. That will be 150$ for a license, please. It sounds like you can't handle control or you find it annoying. To each their own. You have your way and I have mine.

I used to study computer science but I couldn't get an internship or job. I made stuff but it got me no where's. LOL
Also yeah I'm not saying linux is perfect. But it's getting there, fast. I use dwm mainly but also KDE for Wayland. Nvidia is fucking everything up and my experience is ruined by their shifty drivers. In the end. I still emulate windows so you could say I never left but I also never left linux it's a very clusterfuck.
