Microsoft Windows. I used to be a sysadmin. New job is 100% Linux. Now I never touch Windows unless it's to play a game.
Try steam on Linux. That shit just works now and I was able to fully ditch windows 6 months ago.
For most games. Tried Witcher 2 on Linux a few months ago, what an unstable mess.
Bummer, I was skeptical until I tried starfield and it just worked. Have been waiting 20 years to play AAA games at launch on Linux.
How ya feel can make it real.
Weird, it's marked as both Native and Proton compatible on Proton DB, which I find reliable. People are saying the native version can be broken but Proton works. You can run non steam games (e.g. GOG version) via Proton too by adding the game to steam as a "non steam title".

Perhaps they fixed it, but I experienced random crashes at least once an hour.
I would be so stoked to have a Linux-only job. All my personal machines, servers etc are Linux. I'm an old guy but just got my first IT job and it is all Windows. I love getting blamed for shit Microsoft fucks up haha.
Same. Turning down windows admin jobs has been a career saving move for me. It puts you back tech wise and its just so fucking cumbersome to admin for.
