Using open-source as my daily driver has increased my productivity and there is no way back to Windows in the near future. I regret not transitioning into Linux a decade ago in 2012-2013.
The next step is FreeBSD + ZFS as a desktop !! It is just the simplicity, the low maintenance, cost and complexity. Once you set your defined, prefered parameters the system can run stable for years with minimal intervention.

“A nasty vulnerability has been made public today concerning Glibc’s dynamic loader that can lead to full root privileges being obtained by local users. This affects Linux distributions of the past two years”
FreeBSD does not use glibc and has it’s own libc system that is not affected by this vulnerability.
