(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)

I've been 100% Linux for over a year now. If it doesn't run, I don't buy it.

That’s how I’ve been for a few years now. Windows has serious bugs that I encounter all the time that I never encounter with Linux.

Just this week alone… screenshots stopped working, usb microphones were stuck on mute, and the taskbar crashed preventing me from using any touchpad gestures or even accessing the start menu to restart.

The task bar was fixed with a restart but the other two issues required a reinstall of the os. I troubleshot those for like an hour without any solution.
