No, it's irrational to think that you won't have to deal with the problems of two different OSes when you're running two different OSes. Run only one of them and you'll only have to deal with the problems of one of them on your daily driver. It's really that simple. For work, I put Windows out to pasture on a different workstation - I hardly ever need it at all (I keep it around for for testing and debugging Windows-specific issues and when I want to use SSMS instead of Azure Data Studio or Visual Studio instead of VS Code which is pretty much never), but when I do it's there. For games, I've always had separate dedicated Windows machines. I run Windows on multiple systems and I'm absolutely aware of it's stability but also it's problems. One of my biggest issues with it is that it ignores my active-hours and starts updating right in the middle of me working or playing. It's happened time and again on pretty much all of my Windows machines. Another huge Windows problem is that I don't have any control over many things. For instance - they keep re-pinning shit to the taskbar after an update. Or, they change my settings after an update. Or, they constantly nag me with popups or ads disguised as notifications or start menu icons. > If you buy bottom barrel you will get what you paid for unless you're extremely lucky... OK, not sure how that's relevant. I recommended buying a very solid, albeit refurbished desktop unit from a major manufacturer that I happen to have been running three instances of for years now without problem. > ...same goes for linux. What does that even mean? My years using Linux as a desktop have been filled with far less drama than the years I ran Windows as my workstation.
