I'm pretty much the same, Windows on T3H_B33ST, and Linux on T3H_M0B1L3. Also, by default, Linux on my Raspberry Pis. I don't really use my laptop much, but I do like to mess around in Linux on occasion, just to see the different ways it works. Not to mention that some of my various projects are primarily Linux-base, and my eventual game doors will need both Windows and Linux (and armhf/Pi) builds.

I'm a Canadian computer guy. You can be assured that I've already subscribed to LTT. I was subscribed when he was still a kid in a computer warehouse. The Legend of Linus Sebastian is well-known to me! (o_-)

Yeah, for gaming, nothing beats Windows. And there's a reason for that. Microsoft hands out a *LOT* of money to game devs, partly to ensure that Windows gets priority. Apple refuses to stoop to that level, and Linux literally *can't*...

Okay, wait...you game on a laptop? And then say 'use the right tool for the right job'? Are you suffering from a head injury, sir? (o_O)
