Browsers and most games run on linux. Why keep using an OS with a profit motive behind it that's often against your best interests as a user?

Mostly laziness. Moving all my links/games is a time sink I will eventually have to do. But that time I just don't have atm.

If I were to build a new machine there is no way I'm buying a windows license. I doubt I'll ever buy or need on personally.

Work is another nightmare, but I think many of us know that pain.

Hope you can find the time. Not sure why you're getting downvoted. These are reasonable reasons.

I'll do my best, I think this winter will be when I can make time.

Bookmarks can easily be transferred and for games... well, just install a new boot drive and mount the drive with the games and call it a day.
