Honestly my Windows 10 experience wasn’t much different.
Atleast I can actually fix most of the issues that pop up on Linux
Yeah, with Windows I just pray it won’t break, cause if it does I might as well reinstall. And of course installing Windows, installing drivers and updating the system takes hours. How they made it that slow is beyond me.
Last time I tried Windows (with Windows 10), I actually struggled properly installing my graphics drivers. IDK what the issue even was, but after trying unsuccessfully for a while I just wiped the Windows partition and stuck with Linux.
And then you suddenly start cooking blue stuff in your mobile kitchen.
Community will crucify me for this, but Linux DE maintenance is the bane of my existence.
Shit “just works” until it inevitably doesn’t, and it takes Linus himself to figure out how to unfuck it due to the absolutely insane level of version churn packages & distros see over the years, making most resources short of “just reinstall it” a fools errand.
Servers? Beautiful. Desktop environments? I literally can’t anymore… Having something go to shit when I REALLY need to get something done has forced me to always have Windows on hand.
Which has turned into “Windows primary” and "Linux DE secondary " over the years. I hate Windows, I yearn for my plasma desktop, but it’s almost always more reliably stable without maintenance for longer in my experience.
/rant
in my case it’s the exact reverse, simples things need complex paths to be done on Windows
So damn true lol.
Trying to create an insecure Netflix desktop entry that runs excluded from the VPN (because netflix sucks) in a profile that allows DRM.
But the result, worth it.
This is why I use Arch. I enjoy the tinkering. One day Arch won’t be enough and I will have to install Gentoo. You will probably never hear from me ever again after that. Mostly because I will be too busy compiling firefox again after a minor update.
