Nice points here!

Can confirm, productivity tools like, “Pin on Top”, “Always on Top” are absent Tiling was recently introduced And yes GNOME is better while Switching applications!

You know better Big Brother, you have watched a lot of folks. All Hail Big Brother :')

 The joy of “figuring it out”

No absolutely not, I used to be an IT consultant, but like most people I like things to just work, and Linux has done that for many years now.

My bad, I meant that for Linux.

except for a classic game I still play occasionally with my wife.

Cheers to that!

Windows forced me to update to a version that has advertisement in it.

God! Tell me about it! I by mistake clicked on Upgrade to Windows 11 (I wasn’t paying attention and Microsoft categorised it in bad faith) And voila, it’s downloading Windows 11 now (I have paused it for 14 days) But how can I make sure that the download is cancelled, any ideas?

But it’s everything. The intrusion, the quasi monopoly, the shitty anti,consumer choices, all of it.

Since either Linux or win 7 do almost everything I need, I’ll never use anything higher than win 7

God YES! I am required to use Windows 10 or 11 rn, but I am keeping it “downgraded” as much as possible because bloated “Fat Man” won’t run well and the more features there are in a certain version of Microsoft, you seem to be giving it more control over your life. That “intrusion, the quasi monopoly, the shitty anti,consumer choices” hit hard tho!

This happened to me when I was installing windows (on Dual Boot) I spent three. fucking. days. trying to solve an error to find out at the end that it was a different fucking error. Damn you Microsoft :')

Scripting stuff on Linux is relatively simple, trying to fuck about with powershell

that is the fucking best thing about Linux, I have so many scripts and customizations, I can’t even tell you!

bloat the system more and more and more with every update.

Kinda why I call Windows the “Fat Man”

Of course, when you grow up on Windows, Linux has a learning curve. It’s different OS.

tbch, it’s not that. I haven’t used Windows in 7 years, never touched it, but gotta admit, the new Windows 11 is pretty cool

So by the time I got a reliable x86 laptop in hand, Linux felt more normal to me than Win 8.

Know and respect this feeling, I am using MX Linux and have a very customized panel, settings and shortcuts. It’s home, even if it were to be wiped out, I would still put in all the effort to reinstall it.

But, I gotta admit, when Windows works as intended, it’s good for being productive and I technically should be learning how to use Windows properly as my work requires me to :')
