My social circles are filled with Linux / Unix die hards… and most of them are engineers first, pragmatists second, and linux just fills the philosophy.
They ALL, each and every one, have windows available to them (or macos). If nothing else then dual booting, for games, for family, etc. (Some may deny it, but if you really dig into it, they have the ability… or a VM laying around, for those one offs, oh its for Work ™ so it doesn’t count).
The online Linux or Die is a very vocal, but niche viewpoint that I never encounter in real life.
This is nonsense. I–and a great many other Linux users–don’t have a Windows partition on any of their computers.
My kids were given Windows laptops for school but that’s the only Windows in the house. For work I just login to a virtual Windows desktop (though honestly I’d work much more efficiently if I had a Linux desktop) 🤷
Guess I’m the exception - no way to access Windows currently. I used to have a VM, but I recently switched to a new system and I’m too dumb/lazy to figure out how to make a Windows VM there. Luckily I only used it for Photoshop which I don’t need that often.
