    i don’t hate windows because of design inconsistencies and imagined security differences. i hate windows because it shoves ads in my face and spies on me, and every time i dig through the registry to get it to not do that, it gets undone with the next system update.

    i use linux because it doesn’t make me do that in order to have a system i consider usable.

      Also the pulling-teeth-process of updating Windows. How does a commercial OS shit the bed on that so hard?

      No. Windows has these “issues” if you use a diverse-enough set of apps, and there are quite-a-few things in won’t let you tweak without paid or uNtRuSteD apps that Linux will. The difference is that Linux includes more diverse apps by default, and doesn’t hide them away very well.

      Personally, I love a bit of inconsistency, and Windows resides on my laptop because I’m more concerned with getting Linux onto my phone these days.

    Oh man I love playing Start Menu. One of those games that just doesn’t work on Linux.

    Linux folks can get annoying sometimes, but Windows has become absolutely painful to use recently. It’s adware is absolutely disgusting, in line with everything else in corporate society. Every time I use my computer, I’m reminded that I live in a dystopia. When I get a new desktop, it sure as shit won’t run Windows.

    Sure keep telling yourself that you enjoy all the ads, malware, garbage UI and UX, bloated size, cost, etc

    Nobody has fun using windows, they just tolerate it.

    inconsistency with icons and design in some areas

    Sounds like a straw man argument. What Linux user would cite that as a complaint against Windows?

    (I use arch btw)

      A noob, or anyone who spends too much time on /UnixDesktops without realizing that /rainmeter is also a thing.

      Just answering your question. Debian here

    Someone loves sucking on micro soft dicks (joking, wanted to make the micro soft joke)
