What exactly keeps people on Windows if they feel like theyre in such a relationship with their operating system?

• spondylosaurus 2y ago
  Personally? Inertia. I hate switching tools/systems unless absolutely necessary. If I were a frog you could absolutely boil me.

  In my household it's MS Office. My partner very much enjoys the UX of KDE, but can't switch because she's highly reliant on features in MS Office that I cannot find transliterated well enough to work on Linux. Otherwise, there is no place for Windows in my house.

    It doesn't have all the features, but there is a web version of Office now. Might be worth a look?

      It isn't sufficient if you're fluent in Excel, which she needs more than any other part of Office.

        Aye, feared as much.

    back in the day, I had little problem using crossover for office support.

  I prefer Linux, but I dual-boot Windows for gaming, since I haven't been able to get my Nvidia card to work at its full capacity on Linux.

  For me? Gaming and lack of alternatives. I hate MacOS' hostility toward anything not Jobsian, and Linux doesn't have parity with Windows particularly around gaming.
