I have no problem with Linux, but I’m worried that the 50 or so applications I’ve installed will not be compatible. And saying there’s a Linux alternative doesn’t fill me with hope, usually I’ll have tried and discarded 10 other programs just to get one that acts how I want.
I just keep a Windows partition on my PCs for those few occasions where I need it. Usually about a tenth of the drive. For most stuff you can mess around with a vm or wine too but this way is easier imo. And realistically Windows 10 will be fine to use for the forseeable future. It’s still possible to use XP securely even today.
