I have fewer problems with Linux than with Windows.

The title pretty much says it. I just wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone who's considering making the switch.

I started dual-booting about two years ago after Microsoft announced [Windows Recall](https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/windows-recall-faq-everything-you-need-to-know). At the time, Windows worked perfectly fine for me, and I had never really had any major issues with it, been using it since Windows XP.

Ironically, ever since I started using Linux as my main OS, Windows has become the one giving me headaches.

For example:

* My mouse constantly disconnects and reconnects on Windows, making FPS games nearly unplayable. The exact same mouse works flawlessly on Linux.
* I recently bought a game on Steam that launches with the wrong resolution on Windows. After trying everything I could think of, I still haven't fixed it. On Linux, it launches in the correct resolution immediately.
* My Windows installation is a completely fresh install, yet it feels painfully slow. Launching CS2 can take up to two minutes, while on Linux it starts in about ten seconds.

The funny part is that Linux isn't just "good enough" anymore, it does **everything else** I used Windows for without any issues. Browsing, programming, gaming (for the vast majority of my library), Docker, virtualization, media, file management... everything just works.

The only reasons I still keep Windows installed are:

* Playing games like Call of Duty or League of Legends with friends sometimes.
* Using a collection of very large Excel workbooks with complex macros and custom forms. I tried migrating them to LibreOffice, but they simply aren't compatible.

Today I spend about **95% of my time on Linux**, and I don't regret switching for a second.

I started with Linux Mint and eventually moved to Zorin OS. Both have been great, but what surprised me the most is that I now trust Linux more than Windows to *just work*.
