Example: I like Windows for the games (mostly Steam and Minecraft) and Ubuntu Linux because I used it before I chose to use Windows instead.

Technically, I still use them both as of now.

Mostly Steam and Minecraft

You can literally run both on Linux and it’s just amazing.

Arch Linux

Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.

Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.

My favorite is probably Haiku because it has in my opinion the best floating window manager in the world and just overall feels really good to use. Once it develops further I would genuinely consider using it as my main OS on my laptop. I’ll probably always keep a Linux distribution on my desktop for games though.

(Also your explanation for using windows is a little weird. Minecraft Java works just as well on linux as on windows and you can use bedrock edition with mcpelauncher and it works pretty well. I’ve literally never used anything not linux based as my main OS and I haven’t had anything I actually wanted to play not work since like 5 years ago)

Don’t hold your breath. In 23 years they have got as far as R1 Beta 4.

Yes, but they have made a lot of progress in that time. I’ve been following it since the final alpha and it’s been coming along very nicely and is genuinely already really close to being usable for me. All it’s missing is good multi monitor support and a little bit better web browser

Linux (currently Garuda Linux). I can do everything I want on it, including playing all the games I want.

And with the Windows Recall debacle (and make no mistake, it’s not at all gone, it’ll just exist in some different form or name), I am ridding my house of Windows.

OpenBSD is clean and well thought out.

MS-DOS is simple.
