Dual booting Linux and Windows can really help to move your operation to Linux. I have been using Linux machiens besides my main for a while and now in the proces of moving to Mint. I won’t be able to move everything and some things are more annoying (like Nvdia GPU drivers), but the vast majority is easy. Especially because most people these days work in browsers for the most part. I (and probably you from the sound of it) are one of the few who still use a lot of desktop apps.

You are missing the point and for some reason bring up the non updating.

It’s about the switching from something you know and customized for 10 years to something new.

That’s not even a discussion if it was or wasn’t update

If you have a 10 year old Linux intall you wouldn’t want that to go away either. That has nothing to do with the OS.

Stop being so “aggressive” against people’s and let them have their own opinion. It is not helping to get others to get to Linux. What does help is to show people how it can be done.

I tried to download Microsoft Office on Linux Mint and I couldn’t even download the exe (to run through wine), I needed to go to Windows to download it … now I just need to make it work (I am in the 1% of people who actually need official Excel)
