Windows just fucking works. Bitch all you want about every other aspect of the OS. It just fucking works. And that's all 99.995% of users give a shit about.
I install Windows, I expect every driver to work. Far cry from how it was back in the day! Linux? Well, good luck. The most basic shit will work, but you got weird problems to sort out.
And almost all of the Windows problems bitched about on here? I get downvoted every time I say, "Uh, I don't have those issues." Probably because I'm running a plain-vanilla ISO? I honestly don't know.
Lemmy: "Fuck you! You DO have those issues! I read about it in a Linux-loving forum like lemmy!"
Windows just working! Lmao
Been working with Windows for 30-years and Linux around 20. Yeah, Windows "just works". Linux always needs fiddling.
I made "little old lady" computers and laptops for people who couldn't afford my help. Take their old machine, upgrade with whatever spare parts I had, clean it up, load Linux Lite, fix all the drivers, "Here's how to get your email and internet.", done.
That worked because I did the OS fucking around up front. Starting with Win10, maybe even Win7, everything functioned well enough to run. You can't tell me any given Linux ISO runs without fucking about, right out the box.
You and I aren't your average user. Don't put your experience on the others.
Good for you - but that's not everyone's experience. So don't put your experience on others either.
I'm sure it works the other way round, just as often. But that last time when my sister was literally filling out an RMA form for a perfectly functional disk drive because her brand new laptop wouldn't play a DVD. That was the last straw for me and windows. (except at work of course until/ unless I can get a better job).
Windows, 20 minutes of being advertised at like the internet before pop-up blockers, being pushed to windows store to buy the film again from them, trying a few different media players from the store, various googling - i cant even remember if i was able to install vlc before giving up and going debian - fuck that, unusable, and she couldn't do it either, so that was at least two of us in the well-below-average slice of the distribution of windows users.
Linux mint live iso booted about 5-10 mins to burn it and boot, play dvd (I dont even think i had to install vlc). Plus a bit of time to figure out how to get the boot menu. So maybe she was above average in debian users?
