If you are too stupid for your own good it's not our problem.

Install Linux anyway

Why would you pay for an incompetent sabotaging system?

I installed both windows and Linux about a week ago. Linux was (with download and USB creation) a little over 30 minutes. Windows was an agonizing 7 hour journey through all sorts of dumb vague error messages, internet searches disconnecting and reconnecting drives, various rewrites the that USB drive, having to spin up a VPS in Linux and install windows there first... It was a fucking nightmarish hellscsape caused by a mix of windows developers (and their managers) incompetence and pure sabotage of people that use real operating systems.

Fuck everything about Microsoft, install Linux and stick with that. We have cookies

How did you manage to do that? Installing Windows 11 only took me about 30 minutes last time. Installing Debian takes about the same time. And what does a VPS even have to do with all of this?

Download windows media tool. Start installation. Done in ~30 min. After install, downloads all necessary basic drivers automatically. Just have to download Nvidia GeForce. < I have installed my own PC yes, multiple times yes.

Enjoy your Linux, please don't lie to prove unexisting superiority.

So, I came here with a bit of knowledge in Linux having fucked around with Ubuntu and Arch here and there, and I can tell you, even with a sturdy and non-rolling release like Fedora Silverblue, there are easily things I can do in Windows that just work without any additional overhead or configuration that simply does not work in Linux, like fingerprint sensors.

You guys all say Windows sucks and Linux is the greatest thing since sliced bread but it still can't do the fucking basics that Windows does in spades. When I install Windows on a machine, I have nearly a 100% guarantee that every single component is going to work properly with minimal config. When I try to do the same thing in Linux, it's hours on the Arch wiki or deep into forums trying to figure out how to get something as basic as a fingerprint sensor to work. That's not convenient for the average user, and you guys are not the goddamn average user, because you are okay with shit not working out of the box and doing configurations for a lot of little things that you would otherwise just take entirely for granted as simply working on Windows.

my xps13 fingerprint sensor works perfectly out of the box...

also why bring up arch? that distro is literally made for thinkerers. you need to compare windows to ubuntu or fedora...
