at this point is there even a reason to use windows? I genuinely want to know from windows users, why are you still on this operating system?

for many years (since windows 8.1) I switched to using only linux (and at times macos), and I have never regretted my decision; what keeps you using this hellish platform?

[–] Calania@feddit.nu 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because I use programs that only work well on windows, for example Solidworks

does solidworks not work under wine?
