You’re right, no one cares what other people use, but comparing a debloated Windows install with a proper Linux install is just dumb. A debloated Windows install will never be “perfect” or exist without Microsoft bullshit it literally depends on most of it. And I’m not bashing debloating of Windows here. It’s a fair choice if you have to use Windows and want a bit more of a lightweight experience. Personally I use Linux to use more FOSS software, tiling window managers and having in general a better idea of how my system works. And yes you’re right that that’s not for everyone but all I’m saying is that there should be an option besides amputating a shitty anti-consumer OS. At this point people are comfortable using a borked version of an OS whose main business strategy has become collection of personal data.

You used that word in the original comment, I’m only quoting you, hence the quotes. I don’t think there is a perfect OS, but it sure as hell isn’t debloated Windows.

Something that just has a perfect fit and full transparency. Something that is only done on Open Source Operating Systems.

OpenBSD can be seen as perfect because the code base is very strict and securely written. Making it a nearly bug free OS. But I never used it.

Linux Distros that have a large repository to install apps from can be seen as perfect because you cant create a chaos where you dont know how to uninstall things, as everything is installed through the same package manager. Satisfying for updating too. Something like NixOS, Gentoo or Arch.

I dont see them as the “perfect” but Windows… even debloated. Its still a huge chaos.

What good does a good code base do when it cant run popular games and apps like cod, valorant, siege, league of legends, destiny, adobe apps etc? On windows everything just works even though it is not transparent or open source.
