    Now for Windows, you still don’t have any useful software. Whereas on Linux you just select whatever you need from the package manager.

    There it is, this sums it up perfectly.

    The OS is fine, it’s just not what you want. There are plenty of perfectly useable pre loaded media capable programs on install, it’s just not what snobs like you consider “good enough” so you claim that it literally doesn’t exist when it does by defining it as “useful” so you can get away with your misdirection.

    I’ve installed windows from scratch on half a dozen machines over the last couple years for personal use/friends and that’s not even counting supporting it at work occasionally even though it’s not really my department. Never had an issue with the install or the post configuration. You can’t even be bothered to give an objective analysis, trying to compare the two then classifying the removal of software you personally don’t want as “part of the install.” Lol

    I love Linux and run multiple installs from Arch to Debian and Fedora but Windows is fine for most use cases and this pissy middle school behavior fron Linux elitists where you pretend everything that isn’t a “0.5GB RAM at idle” Arch install is a steaming pile of shit is just ridiculous.

      My opinion has nothing to do with “elitism” and everything with usability. Windows used to be a decent OS until Windows 2000. XP was already phoning home, but the user experience was still “okayish”. Windows 7 was only usable when you disabled all the UI bullshit and went as far towards XP looks as possible. Anything Windows beyond that is just shitting in your face “fuck you user, we’re laughing our asses off that you are so stupid to still give us money”.

      There’s nothing from Microsoft that makes your life easier than it used to be. MS Office peaked at Office XP, beyond that, usability has been discarded. I discarded Windows not out of principle, but because it was killing my productivity in every way possible. And that was before even considering that you have zero control over your data or privacy.
