    At least for me I haven’t had any issues with Win11.

    Linux is just too much work, even as someone who knows how to use it a decent amount. Even getting something basic to work that works out of the box with windows takes too much googling

    I love Linux though and I can’t wait for the day when it’s a drop-in replacement for windows (if that happens). That said it’s gotten a lot better over the years and is really close in some regards

      I bet you tried a bunch of years ago, and then you were correct. Today is quite different, just boot up a new Linux mint from a usb stick and check it out (no installation needed).

      Linux Mint desktop background is so ugly though ☺️😭😁 so brace yourself!

        Nah tried fairly recently and some things are 100% better (I much prefer Linux terminal) while others (looking at you, fucking anti-cheat) literally are non-functional (and in the case of anti-cheat can sometimes get you banned).

        I’m not saying this is Linux’s fault, just corporations not giving a damn about allowing things to run in Linux.

        VMs don’t work in these cases and while there are ways to 99% mask that you’re using a VM it’s still a coin toss in other cases.

        I use Linux for my laptop but for my desktop I gotta go with Windows
