As of about a month ago I'm officially Windows free. I have an iMac for desktop and had a 2012 MBP for laptop (that dual booted Windows via Bootcamp). A torrential downpour that soak my backpack ended up destroying that MBP so I bought a used Dell Precision workstation (that came with Windows 10) and put Fedora 26 on it. I don't miss Windows at all. I can play my games on my Mac and while I'm a professional C# dev, I'm working on migrating away from that stack so it isn't like I'm any worse off.
Edit: One thing that I do wish was on Linux is Microsoft Office. I'm working on a book (which I will need Windows for, so I'll have to run it in a VM until I finish the book) but being able to use the Word on Linux would make things so much easier.
- papul1993 9y agoHave you tried LaTeX? It has a learning curve but the output is far better than MS Word.
- jetti 9y agoYes. I'm bound to Word because that is what the publisher uses and has their templates in. If it was self publish then I would've been using Latex (or maybe even markdown) the whole time.
