    If you are not tied down to things like "Korea's Internet banking environment, or Adobe programs or programs that are over 50 years old and will not work on Windows 98 or later" that require Windows, there will be no problem in switching to Linux.

    No matter how much you optimize Windows, it is nothing but garbage that holds hostage the gaming accumulated on top of the bloated legacy.
