If you're using a Nvidia GPU sure, but it's still supported so I'm not sure what you were talking about in your original comment? Windows Nvidia drivers are also proprietary.
>GUI and gaming - barely supports what Windows did 5 years ago.
You can't be serious? Linux has had workspaces for forever, a feature that Windows finally enacted in Windows 10. Native tiling window manager support is nonexistent in Windows.
The more recent adoption of things like WSL and Windows Package Manager are just a few of the ways Windows trails behind Linux innovations that have existed for years.
The GUI experience in Linux is infinitely more customizable and frankly better than any experience I've had on Windows. Far less bloated and more open in it's overall design.
In terms of gaming I haven't had a snag in forever since Wine or Lutris can do pretty much everything I need.
If you're tech illiterate I can see why someone would think that Windows was superior in terms of innovation, otherwise its pretty clear that Linux has beat out Windows in most interactive user experiences over the past few years.
If you're a developer (which most users of HN are which was what my initial comment was based on) there's virtually no reason to use Windows over Linux.
