Slight tech rant 

People keep bugging me about switching to {GNU/}Linux instead of using Windows 10. I only refuse to because the software I prefer to use is on Windows.

I can install a full-functioning Gentoo system by heart at this point. Slackware would give me no problem. I actually compile most of my Linux software from source. I just don't want to deal with having to constantly tweak my system. I want something that "just works".

@reihanfeoru This is why I actually went with Mac. The power of Linux with the usability of windows in most respects. I only maintain a windows system for gaming.

@Spectre I like one thing about Windows 10: Linux Subsystem for Windows. It's a full bash shell (Ubuntu instance) that can be called up whenever you want. It's rather nice.
