This has a faint scent of an early April fool joke.

It does, but then find me a Linux user who doesn't dual-boot into Windoze for desktop apps. This way, you save one reboot. I wonder, however, how stable this will be...

Me, for everything but "work work"[0] for long stretches of time, including moonshine consulting, photos and causual gaming (Counter strike):

accounting? web based

service reports for moonshine work? Office 365 online or Open-/Libre-office

gaming? Steam has worked nicely on my not too beefy desktop for years (I only play CS:GO though)

Today I'm back on Windows 10, mostly, since Windows 10 is less annoying and my current employer don't care if I have a personal account on my new nice laptop.
