Years ago, I thought Linux was for nerds(which it is) and performed badly and was hard to use. Now I haven't used Windows as a daily driver in 5+ years and every time I have to use someone else's non Linux machine, it feels like an ancient machine with absolutely no character to it.

    it really has come a long way in a short amount of time. took me only 2 months to learn it to the level that made me comfortable on it as a daily driver and even then i think 2 months is too generous if not for the fact that i built a very specific spec box for a very specific tech purpose using lots of core.if not for that it would have likely been less than a day to be setup on a linux workstation out of the box doing average computer stuff.

    And wine and window emulators are plenty on linux so you can run windows programs anyways so there really is no missing out. i run windows office software and 7zip out of heroic only cuz i like having buttons and icons and a ui.

    Absolutely!

    Linux has gotten so good. As more and more of the population use web apps, there's absolutely no need to even have a Windows OS.

    For everyone who still would prefer applications and software, run a Linux OS.
