Fuck it I'll say it, I don't mind windows, works fine for everyday use and gaming . Linux on the other hand is a pain for casual computing and gaming .
🙈
Microsoft sucks as a company but Windows>Linux crucify me .
:shrek:
Don't really disagree either! I mean if Linux works for you then that's of course valid, an operating system is all about how it feels for that particular user at the end of the day.
And as for the latter paragraph again no pushback here . Microsoft is indeed a shitty monopoly corporation that used a lot of dirty tricks to get where it is and windows has a lot of bullshit(could be way better at the end of the day but Microsoft knows they have a virtual monopoly so they can sit on their hands for the most part). And 100%, always good to have knowledge of other operating systems like you said, especially if you code(which I do not).
Using Windows is like having a landlord for your operating system. You can say it's more convenient or it's a personal preference but at the end of the day, Windows is the private property of Microsoft. When you use Windows, Microsoft owns your computer system. When you use Windows, on any given day you could come back to your computer and Microsoft has changed the taskbar to show the weather or Microsoft has changed your audio drivers without asking you.
If you rent a house and your pipe bursts, you have to wait for the landlord to come fix it. If you own the house, you have to get it fixed yourself. If your Windows computer has a bug, you have to wait for Microsoft to fix it. If your GNU/Linux computer has a bug, you have to get it fixed yourself. Maybe it's more convenient to have someone else deal with the problems but at the same time, somebody else is in charge of your life.
If you own your own house, you can make improvements and expansions on the house. If you rent, that is controlled by the landlord. It is the same way with GNU/Linux vs Windows. With GNU/Linux the way that you improve or expand your computer system are limited by your imagination. With Windows, you can only change the system to the extent that Microsoft allows you.
The motivations are also the same. The landlord prevents people from having access to housing for profit. Microsoft prevents people from controlling their computer systems for profit. Microsoft spies on you and sells your data for profit. Microsoft makes exclusivity deals with software for profit. Microsoft limits the features of your system for profit. Microsoft limits the number of installations you can have for profit. A Windows system is private property. A GNU/Linux system is personal property.
"Maybe it’s more convenient to have someone else deal with the problems but at the same time, somebody else is in charge of your life."
Look I agree and all with what your saying to an extent (Microsoft spys on you is evil so on and so fourth) but this qoute is really the only thing that truly matters for me when using an operating system. Windows is convenient and easy to use for my simple everyday computing and gaming an that's enough for me .
And outside of the abstract I don't really care that I'm being spied on and my data sold . Take it Microsoft I don't care lol.
