Goodbye Linux

Easey>better :D

The best thing about Win 10 is that you can run WSL and have the best bits of Linux too.

Arch is for ricers, Debian is for everyone else.

im the exact opposite, i rage-quit windows after the 10th uninvited update

don't worry once you have the modern windows experience you will be back

its a bad situation, you can either spend hours troubleshooting Linux, or hours updating windows at the most inconvenient times

There recent initiative to remove paper manuls means most of there babysitting is now not optional.
Their new manual is a single double-sided panel that teaches you how to push the power button and plug the thing in. As well as warranty and other random stuff. So now, their entire setup process is a tutorial and you cant skip it.

Look behind him and to his right.

this read like beautiful music to my ears

I've never had a linux working flawlessly - it's always some degree of anal torture.
Sometimes it's your speakers and headphones, sometimes it fails horribly with multi-monitor setups...
And sometimes when u are in the mood for spicy eGPU(thunderbolt 3) shit will just freeze your whole workstation(kernel module crash?) requiring a hard reset...

A lot of things in Linux desktop eco system feel like they are made from shit and sticks glued with a bunch of troll snot... Seriously, X11 and friends that build on top become one ugly mfk for all those years.
And systemd, what the !@#% is this?.

In the end you start to look for magic scrolls which may even work(if you are lucky and persistent enough to find one) for a while but then will mysteriously break after upgrade leaving u with nothing but a cloud of dust and frustration...

Linux is pain if you want it just to work and have any non standard hardware configuration...
(Speaking from own experience, been running debian/ubuntu on several laptops and virtual machines)

On the other hand I absolutely love linux for server environments where u need nothing but ssh and terminal to access your server, I also got semi-decent experience using linux as dev station(but due to mentioned above issues with sound, eGPU and multi-monitor setups it's always below average experience).

I've had worse experiences with Windows than I've had with Linux

I remember something like 8-10 years ago I spent DAYS figuring out how to get legacy nvidia drivers installed on Linux. Turns out you needed a specific proprietary kernel module, for a specific version of Linux, and retrofit that onto modern Ubuntu which expects a much more recent kernel version. That was not fun, but you can't really blame Linux for that.

Compare this to Windows 10, where
- I regularly need to enter SAFE MODE to delete folders and files
- antimalware (Windows Defender) makes compiling, installing etc. take way longer than it should
- you can't turn off Windows Defender. just temporarily disable it
- MSVC doesn't support x64 inline asm (I'm guessing this is one of the reasons why Spring has no 64-bit executable on Windows. streflop requires it. the other is because building with msvc is a megaton shitfuck is general, even with cmake support and vcpkg)
- Visual Studio's clang/gcc support is too buggy to use, and gcc support is VERY partial. You can't even target windows with gcc on visual studio. ON WINDOWS.
- MSVC is completely non-conformant to the C++14-17 standard. things that should compile don't, and things that shouldn't do with absolutely no warnings. They brought in '/permissive-' recently (as in, 2 weeks ago recently) but I shouldn't need a flag to say I want portable code.
- MSVC is just a piece of shit in general
- almost every piece of software on earth needs an entirely separate build process for Windows
- come with GIGABYTES of bloatware (candy crush, cortana, etc.)
- user permissions are an absolute clusterfuck. your account with 'admin' privileges isn't actually admin, the admin account isn't even admin, SYSTEM is admin, also the admin account is different from the user with 'admin' privileges. Instead of sudo and user groups in windows you have 2 fake admin accounts and the SYSTEM admin account you need a special tool to access
