because linux hipster jerks have failed to adequately maintain the OPEN SOURCE amdgpu drivers in the kernel and i literally could not boot my system with my shiny new RX 7800XT when i got it back in march or so, and that is so offensive i can't stand how offensive it is, when NVidia still don't open source their drivers, and intel has over and over again got caught out deliberately putting backdoors in hardware... and don't get me started on Netscape, i mean mozilla, fucking trash... still has DRM in it by default and can't have the fucking nag disabled, so, yeah, all these hipster jerks and their intel/nvidia/ubuntu systems can blow it out their arse

running windows lets me actually use my hardware, and lets me release binaries for normies

if i had more of a sense of that i was gonna stay here for a long term i'd just get a second desk and have one pc with windows for gaming and doing windows releases and the other would be the linux machine for the majority of my dev work, but i just can't rationalise having two full power computers sitting around running so i can idle whenever i feel like it instead of the rigmerole of rebooting all the time to dual boot, i just can't stand that shit
