    Instead of waiting a few more years for Linux to reach the level of ease-of-use needed to overtake Windows, MS is being sporty by moving the goal closer.

        It’s not. There are plenty of bugs and hardware issues. Bluetootth from my motherboard doesn’t work and I can’t even turn my monitor off without having to remove and reinsert HDMI.

      Linux is currently easier to use than Windows. People who think otherwise are Windows users who think different equals worse.

        This is simply not true. I don’t understand what lying about this does for anyone.

        As a recent Linux convert, pretty much every hardware has full windows support while Linux you’ll have to hunt for shit.

        Basic stuff like Nvidia graphics cards or even Logitech peripherals will not “just work” on Linux.

        Again, I love Linux and for me the pain was worth it, and most of the issues aren’t really Linux’s fault, it’s the manufacturers who are assholes, but your average windows user had no idea about who’s responsible when their mouse won’t work and they can’t install Logitech software.
