That’s a nice generalization and all, but mostly just a lackluster cop-out that I’ve heard a million times. It’s not like windows is some high and mighty operating system which is the only thing capable of running some software because it’s so awesome. Linux is really good at a lot of things like gaming, security, data analytics, and continues to get better. Lots of money was put into developing windows and making it usable for most people. If more money was put towards the development of Linux for the purpose of , you’d have one less thing to bitch about.
Bro I can't even load up most games on Linux so saying we should do away with windows is saying we just shouldn't have video games anymore.
Linux isn't there yet and it's not even close. When it is then I'll switch but until then windows is just fine and isn't the boogie man you weird Linux fan boys make it out to be.
Not being able to run "most" games on Linux is a skill issue. If you wsnt to use windows fine, I won't stop you. But you are spewing a bunch of anecdotal nonsense.
You want to use a subpar paid for OS with telemetry, ads, and to support a greedy corporation for your convenience; Thats your prerogative.
At least educate yourself before you speak on topics you lack greater understanding of.
