Besides graphic suites, where Adobe still holds strong, and some specific stubborn companies only pushing windows tools to configure some hardware, I don’t see that many work related things being a problem.
Most stuff is office, mail and else often just browser based stuff
We’re getting more and more into niche territory, where Linux can’t keep up - and even there, it’s not Linux’ fault
I say, we have a golden year of the Linux desktop ahead of us!!!
And I should know, I keep telling that since 20 years ;-)
Spoilers: Install Linux. Your performance will be even better!
Even better, you won’t need “hacks” to enable “speed.”
*unless you have one of the many nvidia or intel cards that perform worse under linux
This simply isn’t an option for large number of people.
For work computers maybe, but this is PCMR - we’re probably here for gaming, and these days Linux is actually better in many ways.
My work actually can’t be done on windows :), *NIX only.

Fair point.
Even depends on what kind of work

VR gaming would like a word
Steam Frame would like a word
Steam frame has not been released yet
Point being?
Point being that you can’t say Linux is better for VR if you can’t currently buy a headset that works well on Linux
I never said Linux is better. I was just countering your implication that VR on Linux doesn’t work.
WiVRN?

The mentioned “fix” got nothing to do with games.

This isn’t about gaming, where Linux has all kinds of disadvantages on the software side.
This is about OS performance, where Linux is just objectively lighter than Windows.
