As opposed to dabbling? Nah fuck that, I’m all in, to the extent possible. I have to use Mac OS for work, otherwise I’d be fully on Linux. Fuck windows with a rusty knife.
I agree, I just don’t know realistically how many people use them anywhere near equally for very long. I’ve been 99% on Linux for 5 years. That 1% is basically just me keeping a windows partition for security. I end up logging into it once every 4-6 months but I don’t truly “need” it almost ever.
“Dual booting” as a concept is flawed anyways. You cant use both partitions so you gravitate towards one of the other (usually just linux; otherwise it’d be only windows anyways)
Linux full time at home, bazzite/steamOS for games. Mint for the media center. Debian on proxmox for homelab, and early attempts to not hurt myself with nix for the laptop.
But I support windows/OSX at work, so I have to keep up with all three worlds.
The linux community is split cleanly in two.
Those with way too much self-awareness and those with none at all.
I say that as someon who uses a linux distro as my main OS. (Yes I am better than you).

Most people start with dual booting and eventually, inevitably, move to linux full time.

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m saying. It takes effort/money to keep using both unless it’s a work provided machine with the non preferred os
Yeah my work computer runs Win 11 and god I hate it.
My condolences. I used to be in that situation (windows 7 then I think) and I hated it.
Ugh… I feel your pain.

There’s also a hierarchy. You run Mint? Lol ok kid, adults use Arch.
Sadists use Arch.
