1. You develop Windows software, exclusively to be deployed on Windows.
2. You play games that use kernel-level anti-cheat that are incompatible with Linux.
I am really really happy with Debian+KDE combo.
Unfortunately, the user bears the masochism of using Windows. The employer gives only the deadlines.

W7 is just fine. Daily driver on multiple machines, never been "taken over" or turned into a crypto miner or a hub for a bot network, never had a single virus or other issues.
My suggestion is, install Microsoft Security Essentials (you can get a copy of the installer out of archive.org) and definition files are still published for it and are up-to-date. MSE is what became Defender in 10. The Defender in 7 is not the same and doesn't scan for the same things. MSE is needed to replace it.
Had a Mac through work for a couple of years, so it's not for lack of trying. Also had Ubuntu as main boot for a while.
They are kinda destroying much of what I like, though. As if the Windows designers at MS are all using Macs as their daily driver and want to make it the same. I had to hold off upgrading to Win11 for a while due to the stupid new task bar couldn't ungroup windows. Why continuously hurt power users?
I’m 100% sure that some months or years ago, someone working or who worked on the Windows team explained just here on HN that it’s exactly that.
Though it's hard to tell if it doesn't work because of the VM or if it's just simply broken garbage.
In the 90s, it was more a case of “let’s see how much more system resource this new OS will consume when idle”. And the 00s was that and “let’s see how much more stupid this OS treats me”.
By the time 7 came and MS started taking resource consumption seriously, I’d already given up on Windows completely and had been using desktop Linux full time for several years.
I do have a Windows 10 floating about for gaming. But it’s really more of a chore to use than a joy. Albeit only because I seldom boot into Windows so I have to plan ahead to compensate for the two hours of system and application updates needed before Minecraft (Bedrock edition) will even start. A chore that’s hard to explain to my kids who, understandably, expect things to “just work”.
Which is a pity because, like yourself, I first played the Java edition too.
As an aside, I think Bedrock is the only version that supports VR. I don’t play VR Minecraft often, but sometimes it’s fun. Albeit only for about 15 minutes, then the motion sickness kicks in (curiously it’s the only VR game I’ve played that does give me motion sickness)
as for VR, there's a third party mod for java[2], i tried it a couple years back and it felt pretty smooth, had no issues with it, but i don't have a point of reference to compare it to bedrock VR because i never tried it

Thank you for sharing.
If you do, have a look at CoreProtect and whitelisting the users you want to be able to play.
We also have our own Microsoft servers. It’s pretty easy to set up a Bedrock server. Though most of the time the kids just host their own on their Switch.
CoreProtect isn’t really needed because they know not to visit public servers and ransoms can’t join our private servers even if they wanted to.
Then when I ran a Windows 10 debloater, it deleted Bedrock because it was a PWA, and it turns out Bedrock stores the world files inside the application folder, so the world got deleted too.
So yeah I switched back to regular Minecraft.
On Firefox, you have to click on the page at least once before mouseover plays audio
The aesthetic here slaps, though. The sort of overcooked reheated Geocities fantasy of what I assume an Eastern European teenager would imagine American kids having access to - well, there are two Georgias in the world and I grew up two states over from the other one, and in some ways I think I get it. After all, the rich folks back home lived in their own little world, too. Cobbling together what we could, dreaming of bigger and better...who'd we have believed, telling us then how fondly we would come to look back on those days now?
And yeah NVME operations are actually faster than on windows 10.
Still, it's hard to see Windows excelling at anything but gaming, and if it's possible to get DX12 support on Win 7, I've never been able to find a working explanation of how. Compute loads I already have targets for.
That said, the scrollbar does look pretty cool.
We all complain about dull corporate themes and walled gardens making the web stale. But you can’t have a creative fun web without having the odd site that breaks some readability conventions.
Personally, I’d rather see more personal sites like this and fewer stuff on Medium or using boring React/Vue/whatever themes. But each to their own.
And yeah, do you have any projects to showcase to us?
Unfortunately now the quality of software is only going downhill.
And yeah, love this movie, despite it is a bit childish these days.
