     @itsfoss when you know all the system components you cannot bloat it. On Windows it's impossible as even Microsoft don't know its OS's components.

     @itsfoss Seemingly hibernate forever without issue. I started a game of Ratchet and Clank months ago on my SteamDeck. Every couple of weeks I'll wake the SteamDeck up... play a bit... and send it to sleep again. I don't have to load the game up again and watch the splash screens... kinda magic.

     @itsfoss Release version naming in a consistent and easy to understand manner? This has always been a bugbear of mine.

     Windows 1, windows 2, windows 3, 3.1. Simple, then we go to windows 95 & 98. Followed by.. Windows ME, XP and VISTA.

     Then back to numbers (that make no sense!) windows 7, 8.. Then 10, 11? What?! When 7 came out I assumed they were returning to simple numbers, but win7 isn’t even the 7th incarnation of windows desktop.

     @itsfoss Both can calculate any computable function given enough time and resources. You don't have to pay the man for Linux to get it done though.

     @itsfoss Install on multiple computers, as many as you want or need.

     For me this is a huge advantage linux has over windows. I build my own computers and I’m not buying a second windows licence just to maintain my old system after upgrading, and I’m certainly not buying two every few years microsoft demands I upgrade (practically at gunpoint!) to the new incarnation of windows vista.

     @Abigyil True, Microsoft expects people to pay up every time they introduce a new Windows version.
