Is there any real reason anyone would prefer to be on the linux kernel for a workstation other than it being open-source? even as someone who computes primarily on a linux desktop the idea feels silly to me

Filesystem IO on windows is noticeably slower than on Linux (of course fixing Windows would also solve that, but they've had quite a while for that...)

  Is it because of the kernel or simply specific to NTFS?

    Good question. On the other hand, which other FS are you going to use on a Windows workstation?

      We were comparing kernels. It would be easier for Microsoft to change the primary FS than the entire kernel.
