casual browsing, sure, but email, no way.

i try to keep personal data away from windows as much as i can. i use windows only for things that don't work any other way. the only exception is games,some games run on linux or wine too, but all of them run on windows, so i currently have all games on windows just to have them all in one place and keep games away from where i do real work.

apart from that i treat the windows laptop as a replaceable dumb terminal that i don't care about if it gets destroyed or hacked. anything important is on a trusted device running linux.

also, having linux around is what makes using windows bearable. the most important window is the ssh/mosh terminal to my linux machine. the less i have to interact with windows, the better.

finally i switched from dos to linux before win95 came out and i haven't used windows for more than a decade until tax and banking software forced me to. then i added games because the device was already there.
