Because windows has become spyware and enough shit works to be worth the hassle. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a constant struggle. I have many hobbies, and for some of them it’s really annoying to be on Linux. Programming is awesome on Linux, gaming is for the most part fine, music production gets a lot more iffy and some of the photography stuff isn’t really cooperating. But I’ll just have to endure it, I’m almost one year in and for the most part everything works in some way or another. I only start Windows once in a few months now.
