The Mac vs. PC war is back on?

I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.
I'm also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

For me, my cad software was always windows specific. I think they have Linux versions now though.
Gaming is the other reason.
I think (although I've never tried to verify) Steam is making progress to make most games playable on Linux.
There is that nvidia open source thing that recently happened. Still think that's going to break down some doors that Linux gamers have long wanted to see. Like to be able to run their Linux OSes with drivers to their GPUs from Nvidia and play games that way.
Gaming is no longer a reason, really. 99% of the time it works out of the box.
At his point for me it's only CAD and Lightroom that keeps a Windows install in my machine
All the games I like run fine on Linux nowadays
F'ing Lightroom, man.
I haven't used Lightroom or this, but there's apparently an open-source software package named Darktable that's similar.
