I love Linux.  I only have windows on dual boot for VR and they are getting close to making that go.  As soon as VR is working well in linux I won't be using windows anymore.  IF the game doesn't run in linux I won't be supporting them. Since most games are working now it not much of a sacrifice.

I always hate to have to boot up windows for VR.  It always takes forever due to evey thing needing to update since I don't ever use it.  I get thats my fault but just prefer to use Linux.
