Sounds good technically but what is the advantage if you have o keep Windows with all it's problems.
In my personal opinion, we should switch over to GNU/Linux where it is possible and live with windows

where there is no other option.
We have gotten rid of MSOffice, Explorer etc. but still living with some CAD software that has no
GNU/Linux
alternatives.
