Kinda.
Was more like looking as an escapee at my fellow slaves from outside the fence, urging them to come escape too.
Me after having control of system updates again when I switched to Linux.
The biggest issue I ran into when migrating was because I created an NTFS partition that I intended to share with my dual boot. So many programs had issues setting correct privileges on the folders or the privileges would reset after a reboot. Trying to find help was very difficult because I was doing something stupid to begin with. When I changed the partition to exFat or something else all my problems were solved. A couple of years later I maybe have booted into Windows 2 times total, I just use my work laptop when I need to run something that has issues with wine like the tax software
If your work laptop is a pain for those last Wine resistant apps: I recently started using (and liking) WinBoat for running Fusion 360, the 1 piece of software I can’t get running in Wine and can’t manage to switch off of. It makes it really easy to maintain a windows VM and then use RemoteApp to launch individual pieces of software from it as if they were running natively.
You are a live saver.

There are a lot of “And rightfully so.” comments here. And rightfully so.
4 full days??
I have been using Linux since almost 30 years. It took me almost a week to get X running, since it had to reboot to windows everytime I wanted to look something up or get help. Now I buy games on steam without checking if they run, because… they just do. :)
Actually I don’t need more people using Linux, I am happy with how it is now - no need to attract the attention of the malware industry. 😜
I don’t think them and you will run the same Linux, but that’s ok. Choice is good and kind of the point. :-)
I want everyone to have the benefit of Linux. It’s not just about me. We’d then get those missing applications and drivers. And if anyone wanted to get away from the mainstream, there are distros just for that.
@ekZepp LOL, that’s the original Unix user, dmr, looking down!!
How me, still a Windows user then looked at fellow Windows users because i had planned installing Linux after 2 months.
Particularly Arch users
Not going to lie, as a recent convert, this is not very off the mark. 😅 😎🐧

To test a very stubborn program I had to install windows in a VM and use it for 20 minutes yesterday. It felt like I was swimming in a swamp located at the exit pipes of a factory that exclusively produce shit and deadly biohazard material.
And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.
Oh yeah can you put your taskbar or whatever on the side?
You can put your taskbar in the middle of the screen if you so desire!
