Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30

At this point, I'm starting not to feel bad for people who put themselves through this shit. Using windows nowadays is like staying in an abusive relationship while you have an actual chance to get out, then complaining about it. Linux works no problem. And if a software/hardware vendor refuses to bring it to Linux, then you vote with your wallet. We need to let go of a bit of our love for "convenience" and try to be uncomfortable a tiny bit. Be a tiny bit inconvenienced.
You should have sympathy for people in abusive relationships. Your judgmental attitude is ridiculous in both respects.

Fuck Windows. Most overrated OS.

That's a complicated way of saying that Microsoft recommends switching to Linux. /j
You joke but As of this last weekend I just did and it was pretty damned free..

"Install Linux, Problem Solved."
Seriously, I'd like to see Linux made better so much non-technical people can use it without any further technical assistance, most notably, computer games that are normally functional and easy to install under Windows.
Steam and lutris for non steam games. You literally need to learn one program and navigate one singular menu is another and voila every computer game just kinda works, at least in my experience.

I've occasionally tried using Linux in the past as my main desktop, because I think Windows as an OS is inferior, and lately because Linux's UI actually seems superior, but I always got suckered back into Windows because I wanted to play certain games.
I tried again last month, and this time, it's different. The games that I want to play work well enough in Linux. Some of them have native Linux builds. Others work well enough in Proton, which is Valve's version of Wine, a Windows emulation layer that can run Windows games in Linux.
I don't see any reason that I'd ever go back to Windows again.
Yup same. Was all worried I can’t play my games but then discovered the fedora everything install and the online tutorials were well written to get wine and proton going and the drivers and was like holy shit this has come a long way.
I can live with this.

Of course, your metrics may vary because every person's situation is different, but I went through my associates and my bachelor's CIS degree with very minor issues issues., Many colleges will state that it requires windows for the course, but then you're able to use something like LibreOffice just fine. Like technically, the only course that I ever had to actually use windows for was my Microsoft Office course and that's self-explanatory of why I needed Windows for that lol
Office isn't the problem, I use Libre Office even on Windows. The problem is very specific software for some courses. Like we needed to work with SQL for one course and they wanted us to use a specific program. It was a group project, too, and I didn't want to be the one who messes up our database because something didn't work right with whatever Linux substitute there is.

Now if only big software developers understood this and released business software for Linux...
Much of the businesses in media already do. EG: Maya was released for Linux. Its predecessor ‘ALIAS power animator’ was a Unix based program and ran on SGI.
You’d be hard pressed to find a studio involved in fx or 3D or any function of post production not running on Linux.

I've used nothing but vanilla steam for windows games in Linux for a few years.
I think there's the misconception that, because you can use other things, you HAVE to use other things.

It is now. If someone just uses the browser, they wouldn't really notice if it was Linux. Well, they'll notice because it would be faster. I have my entire Steam and GOG library setup on Linux and every game I want to play regularly works just fine. Yes there are instances where I'd need to get on the terminal but that's quite rare.

Yeah I realised the only games I cant play on linux are the ones that really don’t respect my privacy/time/wallet so it ended up a net benefit
all "AAA" games, you say

The fact that the extended coverage is locked behind the windows account paywall is known for a pretty good time already...

Again, further proving my point. Rekordbox was arbitrarily designed to detect if it is being run with WINE to prevent use with linux. There is no technical incompatibility, only a policy choice, and you can get rekordbox to run with linux if you jump through hoops to defeat the WINE detection.
@theunknownmuncher i used a kvm not wine. My guess it requieres a certain level of HW Acceleration on the GPU Side to be runable ( the new AI Stuff in RB 7.x ).
Fun fact their support wanted me to install a amd gpu driver in my kvm ( i was laughing ) ... after telling them this doesn't make sense i got to some other support unit and they told me this isn't a supported environment and i should keep using RB 6 which basically is getting slower and slower with every release ... -

I hate Windows. But I have to use Adobe suite. Wine doesn't play nice. More than an hour of troubleshooting I feel is not worth it. I need to be working more than solving issues. Someone point me to how to make Adobe suite work (without hours of troubleshooting) and I'll join the Linux team. Do not suggest other software options I get the files for Adobe they have to be Adobe specific.
Wine doesn't play nice.
I don’t believe it’s Wine’s fault.

Sad that you get downvoted for such a basic request.
The Linux techbros can suck a fat one.

Im genuinely curious as to what themes and DE you’re using that looks better. In Windows everything is slick and polished, stuff slides and bounces around, the colours are consistent and work together, it’s all pretty elegant. I’m using KDE right now and all that I get is the start menu thing changes shade when I hover the mouse over it. I also use Gnome and XFCE, Gnome is pretty good and XFCE is obviously really basic.
I use KDE. Have you messed with "edit mode" on the desktop yet (just right click on the desktop and hit "edit mode"). There's also tons of themes and other visual customizations on their site (that you can either access manually on a browser, or access through KDE itself when in the theme settings). You can make it look pretty much however you want.
I despise the way Windows looks and feels.

What distro?
