or just linux only
i am not a fan of dual boot
if there is any software for which i need microshit i use a proxmox server and run microshit in a VM

They're not my laptops, and there are no geeks in this org. I'm sure they would not be happy if I removed Windows.
My goal is to show them that they don't need it, and that they're better off with open source solutions.
my neighbor complained about microshit very often and i always say to him "just use linux" i dont got the problems which you got, but for now he didnt get it. he thinks linux is still in the state it was 10 years ago, and that its not working when clearly his winfuck is not working
When I would switch people to Linux, they would quit calling me for help. The first few times this happened, I thought they were mad at me. I would call them to make sure everything was okay, and found they were more than happy with the change, and had no issues to call me about.
And yes, I'm known for helping my clients to the point of making myself nearly obsolete. Too bad that's not recognized financially. 🤣
there are always new tasks
I have a friend who is an IT consultant and his policy is to always do extra stuff, because he has found that when he makes the client's experience so smooth and simple, they actually keep asking him for improvements and new more advanced stuff, because they feel they will be able to handle it (with his help).
I'm hoping that MS's latest move to force down the throats of users the most obvious piece of spyware, under the guise of "AI", will actually make a non-trivial portion of the consumers finally shift over to Linux.
Especially if running a local, user-controlled, non-spying LLM is as simple as it seems right now with Ollama, for instance.
it took me also a long time quiting microshit but i am very happy now and using LLMs should at best be used with your own hardware. you are right. but most people again fall into this CrapGPT software
