@Cyrillic @Suiseiseki @waifu You have to be at least somewhat compatible in certain fields, or make alternatives to make the switch possible. And then we go into the sometimes laughable quality of modern free software programs, but I digress. If your goal is to have a closed ecosystem (Suiseiseki rant incoming about that word) similar to what Apple does nowadays, then this is certainly a solution. But I don't want that. And I don't want everyone to use Linux either. I would even go as far to say that I would like 50% of the community that is active online gone, because they are those I call crybaby devs. People like Drew Loli DeVault, Wayland devs, all GNOME devs,...

That said a Windows system for things that simply cannot be done on Linux (3D parametric CAD that won't make your hair grey after a day for example) is something I do. It's a workable solution to the compat and alternatives problem.
