I appreciate the suggestion and it does look fascinating, but one of the biggest reasons I'm stuck on Windows is; put simply, I need my computer to function more plug and play as I use a lot of creative programs to make VR content. I'm not as good at the code side of a lot of Linux but know enough to get by.
I get really frustrated when I have to fix XYZ bug or configuration every time I use my computer when I need my machine to make content. Adding more complexity to my processes is just not good for me.
Understandable! Hopefully it gets to that point soon. A lot of people are sick of Windows and I'd love for it to be as smooth a transition as possible for everyone.
