    i don’t hate windows because of design inconsistencies and imagined security differences. i hate windows because it shoves ads in my face and spies on me, and every time i dig through the registry to get it to not do that, it gets undone with the next system update.

    i use linux because it doesn’t make me do that in order to have a system i consider usable.

      Also the pulling-teeth-process of updating Windows. How does a commercial OS shit the bed on that so hard?

        What’s the problem with the updates? I don’t have any problems with OS-Updates on W11 and also have no commercials or Copilot or shit like this. And no update ever tried to bring me those things. EU btw

          My last experience with Windows was with Windows 10, but updates were always taking an extremely long time both to download (my internet is a bit slow, Linux updates have way smaller download sizes) and to install, and update installation often failed.

            Ah okay, we had 50k DSL for the longest time now, and updates never were really a problem. Yes, they download in the background but never really influenced my internet usage. And updates never really broke anything for me. But I also never update ASAP. But everyone’s mileage may vary. I mainly use my PC for entertainment purposes and picture editing. No problems there except with Adobe, because it’s a shit show of a program suite, haha
