I am toying with the idea of getting this…

I hope it works out for you in the end. Good luck!

I work in a small lab. Our systems are controlled using two computers that run 24/7. The main real-time control stack is open source and open hardware. I happens in a Linux box that runs NixOS. I would trust my life to that machine and fly it to the end of the universe and back again. It just never fails. We can even run updates while everything keeps running undisturbed. Some devices need drivers that only work with Windows. The second computer runs those under Windows 11. In contrast we have to babysit that machine constantly, USB connections are unreliable, things fail randomly. When we have to update, the world comes to a halt. It‘s an amazing difference.

You are welcome.

At my uni we use OpenAFS. It works on any operating system.

NixOS unstable is pretty stable. Might be worth adding to the list.

Ok, I actually forgot that many games only run properly on Windows. Maybe my claim was too simplistic.

Agree, but I feel the majority of Windows users would have just adapted to whatever came installed. But what do I know…

People use Windows because it comes preinstalled when they buy their computers.
