I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

It's both.

I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.

That's okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.

I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh

Shouldn't your huawei tablet support mtp just fine though?

I had that attitude for a while too. Eventually you realise that having to reboot your system for a handful of games isn't worth it. Nowadays I just don't buy games that don't run on Linux.

Eventually we will reach a critical mass where game developers will actively develop for Linux, rather than being reliant on compatibility layers.

Yeah, about half of my library already runs on Linux.

The problem I have now is that, soon, I'm gonna want to do a reinstall so Linux can have more disk space. :) My PC's pretty fast, so the reboot doesn't really bug me all that much.
