Does Windows count as "ms crap" ?
This is lemmy linux community, people here won't accept windows is a great os without the microsoft bloatware.
The worst web browser ever, period, is still embedded into the system to this day and the entire OS will collapse if you manage to delete. Just an example; without the bloat you literally wouldn't have any OS left (except, ironically, some unix components).
That said, I agree with you, no OS is great compared with windows lol
I removed my edge browser without deleting webview2. If you use random internet scripts it will remove webview2 which is required by many apps and games. My current windows 11 install have no problems with edge uninstalled the proper way without removing webview2.
I somewhat get the stance some have against Windows. I myself aren't to fond of Windows anymore and I'll gladly doge it (and its company) at every chance I get.
HOWEVER, I understand that there's software or even hardware that won't and likely will never work on any other OS but Windows (even if it's only through market dominance).
If ones use case is primarely for multi-player gaming then Windows (for most of these games) is the go to as for that aspect it offers the less painful way.
Could some of those games be made to run on Linux? Sure but it's likely gonna be a pain all the way through (and will likely break with the next patch).
Some might answer with "to avoid those games then", but realistically, many want to enjoy these titles, and they have every right to do so.
TLDR: Windows is good at certain tasks, Linux is good at certain tasks. Use the tool that that fits your use case (tasks) the best, but still look over to the other side every onece in a while.
