You could have done that anytime. Linux is right there.

I wish I could put Linux on my work computer.

The piece of nuance every one of these threads seems to miss. I have software that literally only runs on windows. What do? Rather than talk about how to make Windows work better, the best you get is jump ship!

I use a more manual setup version of the same concept from another earlier repo. I can run my Windows speciality software just fine.

Because the concept of make windows work better is a fallacy. You, me and everyone has no control or ability to do that. It's not a real option to anyone.

The only people that can do it are Microsoft themselves. So you get what you get. Either windows is EXACTLY what you want and your ok with that or you jump ship.

Those are your options.
