Doesn't the fact that you have to do all this to have a normal, productive computing experience tell you that shit is really bad??
Why should the average person put up with that? It sounds like I need to do alchemical spells to get work done on a Linux system, it's infuriating..

My biggest thing with Windows is that it chooses maintenance during times I'm working and thats annoying. Like why are you doing a random malware check or update while I'm rendering or doing something important. If W11 has the ability to fine tune that I'm all ears on upgrading.
Also I caught it corrupting a disk that has important backups. I forced it to fix its own error but no lie, the drive was only connected to Windows for months and hasn't been unmounted often.

@charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler Liek you're not debloating windows after every other upgrade.
Driver packages like graphics are commonly as problematic to troubleshoot as anything you do in Linux.
Compatibility modes for some applications are shit too.
Windows got so bogged and Linux got so streamlined, they're basically the same in terms of effort. The only hurdle is familiarity.

@white_male @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler Biggest difference is with windows you're trying to stop it from doing things you don't want, while with linux, the struggle is more about getting it to do the things you want it to do... at least on the linux side everything generates logs, so you can actually find out why it didn't work and get closer to a solution.

I don't remember when that happened last time to me.
>with windows you're trying to stop it from doing things you don't want
Every single time.
