I didn't know Qt5 was such a resource hog? (makes it almost sound like .NET
)
For me, switching to Linux was a gradual process. With over ten years of Linux server experience, I was always itching to integrate Linux in my everyday processes. Initially that didn't work too well, when proprietary drivers were missing (hence very bad performances in graphics, wifi), and my favorite browser (IE - don't shoot me, that was before Phoenix/Firefox was born!) was missing. The KDE-based browsers just didn't work for me. But today things are so much more blurred. You have all the cool Internet apps on Linux - in fact some of them are solely available on Linux. I use Chrome for browsing, and whether you use Windows or Linux, it makes a zero difference. I use Sublime Text for code writing - and again, zero difference between Windows or Linux, except that the dependencies (Python, etc.) and tools are much better integrated in Linux.
