I strongly disagree that Linux is totally superior to Windows. That's objectively not true for Performance or UX.
Discussion
I've been administering large systems for decades, Windows performance is fucking garbage.
Just because linux has a worse UX for newbies doesn't mean it's worse.
If the 500 most powerful supercomputers use Linux is for something.
Because Linux can be optimized far more than windows. Why don't you compare the average distro to a clean windows install. Install Star Citizen on both. Write down the time it takes to get as much performance out of the Linux box vs the non modified Windows install.
