Why does anyone still run Windows?
Games I guess.
Both Mac and Linux desktop/laptop machines are better and less loaded with shit. If you don’t need or want a full featured PC you have Android and iOS which are also better. Android you have to be careful of but if you pick well it can be customizable and less loaded with shit.
Steam is available for both Linux and macOS. Are there just not as many game titles? I just saw Cyberpunk show up in the Apple Store for Mac so there seems to be an effort to port more games off Windows.
I have a Windows VM but use it less and less. Only need now is to test and build some software for Windows.
Also: I realized what I do kind of like about Apple and how best to describe their ecosystem. It’s the devil you know. They are fairly consistent in their policies and they are better on privacy than others. Some of their policies suck, but they suck in known consistent ways.
If I left Apple, Linux (probably on Framework) is the only alternative.

Learned helplessness.

A vast majority of the games work fine under Linux now, in fact most release these days woke even on day one of release. The only games that don't really work are ones which use invasive kernel-level anti-cheat systems.

Music, and video.
