It’s basically the same time I started using Linux somewhat more. I didn’t go Windows-free until 2007 though and then returned to Windows because I needed it for something with my Master’s thesis. I kind of shudder at the thought how my old setups looked under the hood. You learn a lot in 18 years… Probably copy-pasted a lot of shell commands back then. But UT2k4 in its OpenGL glory was worth it
I’m Windows-free for about 18 years.
Windows is a last resort. If some proprietary apps don’t work under Linux (mainly at a work).
It’s funny how conservative Windows is, it still has components from the NT.

Windows has huge lists of quirks that are hardcoded for specific programs to maintain compatibility.
