To be fair I never downloaded 20 sketchy looking zip files from some ODM manufacture website just to get my hardware working. I also didn't need to reboot my computer 40 times while installing drivers, software, and updates.
I didn't have my motherboard, mouse, and fan controller auto install junky apps that never works and advertised new products constantly. I didn't have to try to uninstall adware just to find out you can't uninstall half of it. I didn't have to Google some esoteric regedit voodo just to add features back or disable anti-features.
I don't get full screen ads for OneDrive and office 365 begging me to switch to a Microsoft account every other update. I don't have to go to each and every manufacturers website to search for updates. Or create an account, login to it, and have it run in the background 247 just to not work when an update needs to be applied.
Have windows install updates in the background while playing games, or doing CPU intensive tasks like transcoding / video editing(often crashing the application).
Having to use the terminal on my Linux install every once in a blue moon crosses the line though. I might switch to windows and deal with all that instead.😂
I was just having fun with it. It really took a lot to make me switch to Linux in reality. For me anyway it was more the better polish from wayland and the ability to play games that made me finally switch. All my tools were already there which I understand most people can't say.
I never liked windows much after 7. Mostly used it like a flathead screwdriver, I curse when I have to use it over a Philips (slippery lil fuckers) but it's the first tool I grab when I need a pry tool because it's always there. I have like five of those damn things in my drawer and a few more in my toolbox.
