    Because that is not a common experience in the least bit. Windows 10/11, as far as general usage (Internet, media, games) works 99.95% well for those use cases. I haven’t got a blue screen or had to reinstall an OS for like…idk 6 or 7 years now. You might not like the level of customization or data collection, but most folks don’t care about that.

    Meanwhile on Linux desktop (servers and infrastructure excluded) nerds (I use deprecatingly) get excited about idempotent updates so snap can’t break their shit because fuck usability, or gpl god must be appeased.

    As someone who uses Linux servers and software all day Windows gives them normal user a far far more stable experience on the desktop.

      Yeah for real, trying to get people to switch by saying that windows crashes all the time/ has driver issues/ bricks hardware or software is just not the selling point people think it is because windows doesn’t do that 99% of the time.

      And does Linux ever do that? “wellllll yeah sometimes it can but only if you’re using it wrong.”

        Linux community is like the dark souls of computers
