It's TruckersMP for me because it's built on .NET libraries and I can't get truckersmp-cli to load my DLCs for whatever reason :|

Literally just steam VR in home streaming is all I need to fully dump windows.
As an architect, let me know once Linux supports autodesk products and adobe products. Until then I gotta stick with windows.
Autodesk I understand but the adobe suite sucks major donkey balls anyway
Video games.
video games work pretty well in general
shitty anticheat protected games where the dev has specifically chose to block linux?
I side-loaded Mint for a couple hours just to goof around, and then . . . never booted Windows again, quite literally forgot it was installed three days later
Sounds just like my last dual boot setup, as well.
I believe I said "I'll just boot back to Windows next time I want to play...this game...that just launched and played perfectly under Proton...or...this other game...which also works...huh..."
Unfortunately, my vr headset requires a piece of middleware that is not Linux compatible. But, by the time 10 LTSC reaches end of life, Deckard should be available for purchase.
Also, I'll need to re-pirate substance painter for avatar work, as GenP doesn't do Linux either.

When you're Canadian, European or basically not a US citizen, that alone should be enough reason not to use windows..don't give your money to greedy corporate overlords of a dictatorship
I'm going to give you the secret to switching. Go all AMD for your build, and leave everything you know about Windows software and how it works at the door. Learn to use Linux. Expecting it and Linux software to work like Windows is the pitfall.

I feel like a stuck record saying this, but if there was a serious contender to Group Policy on Linux I honestly think Windows in the workplace would be dead in five years.
Negative. Windows on Desktop uses vendor lock-in to maintain it's user base. It's been that way for nearly 30 years. People only think they are choosing Windows themselves. Anywhere Microsoft can not enforce vendor lock-in, Linux dominates. Even IoT, a brand new market (well it was brand new ten years ago), 80% dominated by Linux. Microsoft had to make Windows free for IoT and 9" or less devices just to try and be competitive. People only think everything is made for Windows, because OEMs are forced to sell a Windows license with every PC or lose their volume licensing deals. That means every OEM has to spend engineering dollars on Windows drivers, software, and testing. When your business has very thin margins, you can't afford to have second or even third engineering efforts for competitor OSes. Imagine how Linux would be if PC companies were spending engineering dollars on Linux for the last 30 years. Right now the money comes primarily from server sales money. If there was demand for Linux on Desktop in the workplace, there would be tons of competing FOSS Group Policy implementations.
I'm convinced everyone on Lemmy works IT
I'm convinced they all live in the moms' basement eating chicken tendies.

My only real reason is the amount of stuff I'd have to move over
For me it's Nvidia tech, VR, and HDR, even if they're technically supported, they're much more of a hassle than on Windows.

I'm so close to making the switch. I'm just a poor soul though who enjoys games with those annoying anti-cheats. Thinking about trying to do a duel boot just for those specific scenarios.
Thats what I have. I suggest you take 2 different drives. Makes your life a lot easier.

For me it is the malwares. Other platforms do not stand a chance against windows.
Agreed, my malware collection would never be this big if I couldn't use Windows.

Audio production/editing. You can switch to mac but not to linux at the moment. Well, you can do on linux like 80% of what you can on windows by using Wine, but certain apps and plugins are incompatible right now. The one that holds me back is Izotope RX suite, which is a de-facto standard for audio restoration/clean-up, and it's all because of their drm (even the cracked versions have the drm merely bypassed, but it still crashes during the initialization, at least it was like that when I last tried it a couple of months ago).

Thereβs plenty of software that is windows exclusive and has little to no Linux compatibility, although it is shit praxis, it is an argument to use windows
