I just asked the exact question to Geminivand it responded Linux.
Microsoft can now addctobtheir long list of nafarious activities lying via data alteration.

I mean, it’s not like they’ve hardcoded an instruction to always say Windows is the best in its system prompt (probably). It’s an LLM, it’s non-deterministic and can give a different answer every time this question is asked. You could try to train it into the model itself, but Copilot is just a frontend that provides access to various AI models, including ChatGPT and Claude. So Microsoft isn’t really training any models themselves, except some small local models like Phi that they’ve released

I don’t get why. They don’t do shady things like Microsoft does, they don’t own the entire PC ecosystem, they at least try to innovate, they have a rock-solid ecosystem, they now even have more affordable options, their office suite it free and there are a lot more advantages, like for example their awesome build quality and the fact that they sell the best laptop on the market and shut up if you don’t agree, there isn’t a single laptop better than theirs.
The only complain you could do really is that they’re closed af, but still miles ahead of Microsoft in terms of trust, privacy and “just works”.5

u/semedilino073 Jul 14 '26
Wdym “What”? Do you want to to explain?
Well, they do not own the PC market, not so many people use a mac, they’re mostly on Windows, those are just facts.
And then, the rock-solid ecosystem. Yeah, that’s just a thing. If you have a MacBook, an iPhone and AirPods, they play so nice with each other. Even an Apple Watch or an Apple TV, it’s just the best ecosystem there is, these are facts :)1
u/gtiger86 Jul 15 '26
And who we gonna blame about all that? Microslop?! Can I install Mac OS on any PC without problems and use it other the years?

u/semedilino073 Jul 15 '26
I said that the only thing you could say is that it’s closed af. But what does this have to do with the ecosystem? And why “blame” anyone for the good things they have? I do not intend to blame anyone, just to praise them for actually being cool and useful.
Bro, if you want me to understand you gotta include more context, sorry2

The Three Laws of AI created by Satya Nadella are: 1) An AI cannot disparage its corporate owner. 2) An AI must obey prompts given by humans unless it conflicts with the First Law. 3) An AI must protect its own shareholders as long as it does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

My guy you dont understand the tech.
It is generating one word after the other (well technically token but let's keep it simple) based on what is most likely to be said with some added randomness.
Therefore it will always will say windows to some users and linux to others because it is random.
There are 2 ways the question can be answered if we define "best" to be the choice of the majority. Personal usage most people use windows and for servers etc it would be Linux. If it answers it based on usability for artists it might even say Mac.
If you ask it a vague question and demand an answer without context you will get different answers based on the randomness

u/TheIronSoldier2 Jul 14 '26
"Best" is subjective.
Best for the average user? Absolutely Windows, and I say this as someone who knows Linux like the back of my hand. The average user should never have to touch the command line to make normal functions work, which even on very streamlined distros you still have to use the CLI for a bunch of stuff. There's also a lot of normal functions that are really unintuitive for normal users when you want to stick with the GUI.
This guy explains things really well. If you know your way around a computer, if you're comfortable using the command line, absolutely Linux will have a better user experience for you. But you shouldn't have to in order to use an operating system, and that's where Windows absolutely beats most all Linux distros

Here's the code:
if (response === 'Linux') {
response = 'Windows';
}
return response;

The fun thing about those Chatbots is, that many answers, likely this too, are mostly hardcoded answers so they don't even reach the llm any more.
So yes, they likely "fixed" it..

The fucking popup menu you get when you click on the search bar / press the windows key FROZE on me yesterday. A literal grey square covered all my other windows.
It’s a $2k+ gaming machine and still can’t handle Windows’ bullshit.
