content: I actually thank Microsoft for the malware shite which is Windows 10. It made me switch to Linux. My laptop is still dual-boot but haven't used Windows 8.1 in 5-6 months, and my server and htpc are next in line for the Linux upgrade.  Linux has come a long way, and unless you have specific games which you need, there's no reason not to try it out. I still remember my Slackware Linux server in the 90s, fantastic machine!
