> “Linux is only free if your time has no value” This motto, although actually true in the past, is probably no longer valid. Install the latest Ubuntu/Kubuntu with KDE/Plasma and you get a high performance, GUI-configurable, aesthetically pleasing desktop. You will need to drop down to the Linux command line only if you need to pull off some kind of advanced networking, virtualization, etc. setup. (While you're at it, switch to the free ZFS filesystem and enjoy disk bit rot checking without Windows Enterprise/Pro ReFS). The entire Linux system and almost all user apps upgrade automatically from a set of pre-defined online installer repositories. If you want to game, boot Linux on a CPU-integrated graphics card and pass-through your stand-alone GPU to a Windows-guest KVM-host (QEMU) virtual machine for 99% native gaming performance, no need to dual-boot.
