Example: I like Windows for the games (mostly Steam and Minecraft) and Ubuntu Linux because I used it before I chose to use Windows instead.

Technically, I still use them both as of now.

My favorite is probably Haiku because it has in my opinion the best floating window manager in the world and just overall feels really good to use. Once it develops further I would genuinely consider using it as my main OS on my laptop. I'll probably always keep a Linux distribution on my desktop for games though.

(Also your explanation for using windows is a little weird. Minecraft Java works just as well on linux as on windows and you can use bedrock edition with mcpelauncher and it works pretty well. I've literally never used anything not linux based as my main OS and I haven't had anything I actually wanted to play not work since like 5 years ago)

Don't hold your breath. In 23 years they have got as far as R1 Beta 4.

Yes, but they have made a lot of progress in that time. I've been following it since the final alpha and it's been coming along very nicely and is genuinely already really close to being usable for me. All it's missing is good multi monitor support and a little bit better web browser
