Yeah I’m frequently having to open powershell/windows terminal or worse, attempt to navigate the shitshow of complexity that is the windows registry to do the most basic things.
I don’t have to do that on my Linux machines.
Plus since MS fired most of their QA team, there’s been the occasional crazy issue. My audio wasn’t working for months after a windows update. I did a system restore, I uninstalled and reinstalled audio drivers, but nothing worked. Then months later, suddenly it did. That just isn’t acceptable for a product that costs as much as Windows does, and continues making even more money by spying on the user and selling the information.
I feel like because of the decline in usability of windows since 7, and the perpetual improvements to Linux, we now see Linux being the easier (as in ease of use) choice.
If Dell/HP/others started putting Linux on most of their machines, I don’t think it’d cause issues for most people at all.

yeah. Linux now isn’t necessarily better than windows 7, but its a hell of a step up from windows 11.
and they fuck with the appearance enough; you could just tell people they’re on windows still anf they might believe you.
