Yeah, Windows is way too limited for anyone with advanced needs. Every time I boot into Windows it feels like I’m wearing 10lb sandbags on my legs and wading through 3 feet of shit… whereas in Linux I can make my computer sing without my hands ever leaving the keyboard, but that’s because Linux is more customizable and offers more control over it.
Linux runs circles around Windows in terms of privacy, security, control, customizaton, and DE workflows and efficiencies… so what advanced needs keep you from using it? I’m genuinely curious because Linux is far more advanced than Windows in basically every single way I can think of… I can’t think of any reason I would prefer to use Windows over Linux. The only problem Linux suffers is from software support, so if you are in an industry with software that doesn’t support it… well then, yeah, you have to use Windows. Or if you want to play a game with anticheat… and you are okay with installing what is essentially a rootkit on your computer, then yeah, Windows.
Bullshit… I honestly can’t believe half the comments here… so much conjecture, straight up bullshit, or opinions outdated by like 10+ years. Yours is another… if you are actually familiar with Linux, there is absolutely no way that you would put up with the lack of control and customization, the god-awful workflows, and knowing there are ads and telemetry data being sent from Windows.
The amount of comments in here that are conjecture or just straight up bullshit is off the charts… my tech illiterate wife, and my 80+ year old grandparents use Linux without any problems.
THEY CALL THAT DROPPING A DEUCE IN A NOOSE, MF, AND SPEAK UP CUZ I BARELY CAN HEAR YOU!
I’m sorry, what? By that logic why even have passwords at all!
LISTEN TO THIS MF, I DIDN’T FLOSS AND THEN I HAD TO GET A SCALING AND ROOT PLANING
FLOSS LIKE A BOSS SO YOUR GUMS ARE NOT LOSS, THAT’S WHAT I ALWAYS SAY AROOOOOOO1111
Aside from gaming, everything else you mentioned is objectively easier on Linux. Programming is easier because a lot of tooling is already there or just a few clicks in the package manager away. All the local AIs I know run in Linux, and most in docker containers, which objectively works better in Linux by far. And customization? Lmfao… it’s not even close buddy, there is far more customization available in every single major Linux DE than there is in Windows. That’s why I feel so weighted down by Windows, it has dogshit workflows, and you can’t customize them.
For you to say otherwise is just complete fucking ignorance. And that’s not an insult that is a matter of fact, it’s objectively easier to do all those things in Linux. The problem is that you have been institutionalized by Windows… and until you accept that, you will never be able to transition. You need to forgot about how you would do things in Windows, and learn the way things are done in Linux. You can’t also expect to just understand right away either, how many years of experience do you have fucking your brain over with Windows? Yeah, that’s a lot of bullshit to unlearn.
