linux is a bad operating system,and windows is better.

windows is easier to use,harder to break ,all apps and games support it natively.

hardware acceleration works on browsers on it unlike linux(yes it even works with nvidia)

nvidia drivers are perfect.

all hardware ever made for computers works on it.

everyone knows it.

it has real excutable forum. the .exe and is easy to give apps in it.

its very fast with modern ssds. laptops and pcs dont get sold without an ssd anymore so thats not a problem.

adobe apps work ,ms office works. kernel anti cheat apps work.

and you can use it without ever touching the terminal .

it has many sources to troubleshoot online and even ai is better at windows than linux (bec linux always changes) and you generally dont need to troubleshoot stuff just works.

I reviewed all their posts and comments. They are obviously shit posting. We allow it, to a limit.

The comments here have been great, so I'm leaving it up, but giving them a temp ban. Feel free to break the civility rule within reason on this shit poster, as this is what they want.

Well, it's certainly an uniformed opinion. Linux is just different from windows. It has a different ethos and goal and it excels at that. Conversely, Windows is terrible at the things Linux is good at.

I'll ignore the long list of errors in your post for now under the impression that you just don't know what you're talking about.

Have you ever patched your kernel or even used ssh? Or did you just install Ubuntu and got upset that programs were named differently?

I'm proud of you.

You've had an experience and learned from it, broadening your own horizons. You've yet to learn that your experiences and needs are not universal, however, and that what works (or doesn't) for you isn't universally applicable.

Baby steps!

Your effort is appreciated. Just to add in a few things from my experience - in dabbling with LLMs I needed to use WSL in Windows (wonder what OS that is). I found it too slow because it's a virtual machine, so that was the final push towards putting Linux on and just running things direct. Not my first time with Linux, but this time ti stuck because Linux is that good now for new users. A few months ago I finally reclaimed the space Windows had been using, as I don't need it anymore. Another point in this journey, my Nvidia gpu worked the first boot up, no issues at all. In fact I can't say I've had any hardware issues with any computers that I've put Linux on. Windows, on the other hand... well, there was a time when Windows would work on just about anything, but the days of sticking in a 98SE CD to pull a driver that works is long gone.

all hardware ever made for computers works on (Windows)

Let's assume you're talking about Windows 3.x from the 90s all the way to current Windows 11. With that assumption, this is demonstrably false. There are devices from the 90s and early to mid 2000s that don't have drivers for Windows 8 and up. While Windows does have better backwards compatibility than Linux overall, your absolute statement is false.

Funnily enough, some say that Linux has a better backward compatibility with Windows than Windows itself.

(Windows is) very fast with modern ssds.

All operating systems are faster with faster storage. What point is this statement trying to make?

Maybe to preempt a counterargument that Linux distros are lighter, i.e. needs less resources?

adobe apps work ,ms office works (in Windows).

Absolutely true. If you need those exact applications, run Windows.

I seem to recall that someone patched the Adobe installer to make it work with Wine, so I'm not sure if there's an argument to be made here.

Obvious ragebait, but I like reading these types of comments so I don't need to address them myself lol

my printer works perfectly. try searching online im sure you will solve it

sure. just buy it online and plug it in windows. its hp

Yeah dunno, some of those bigger half-year updates broke it. And there's never any helpful error messages. Already solved it, though. I just don't print from Windows anymore 😆 It's like the second time this happened and the printer before also stopped being supported in modern Windows, and honestly I can't be bothered to poke at thinks for 2h again. A computer should just work and keep working, and not mess with the printer drivers every year, mess with the boot order and all that stuff I have to fix on a regular basis.

You know how to use Windows, not computers.

I've been off Microslop for over a year. I've barely logged in, mostly to do updates. But I understand Windows better now than I did when I left. That's because Windows will teach you how to use Windows, while Linux will teach you how to use computers.

That comment about the terminal is funny, because powershell is one of the best things about Windows 10/11. And a real Windows user would know that.
