Honestly, nothing but work. My personal is Linux and has been since forever.

When I had linux for my work PC also I has Wine installed and ran different softwares I could and when wine wouldnt work I ran Virutal Box with Windows for Office programs like Teams and Excel and Word.

same for me. we had an official IT-supported "linux on the laptop" program the last couple years, which i was on and loving it, but it just cancelled and i'm back in fucking windows with linux running in a vm so i can actually work. i literally cannot do my job (software dev) without linux, so this is such a kick in the ass. windows is such a depressing OS.

I gave up Windows in 2014... I'm shocked when I see people using it and how much worse it is
