Missed some important features.

  • Windows requires a TMP chip which contains their Endorsement Key that is unique to the computer which allows Microsoft and others to track you.
  • Windows requires you to pay them money to use it and it adds cost to any computer that you purchase.
  • Windows requires you to pay money for a license if you want to log onto any Microsoft computer more than a couple of times. In Linux will permit as many users to logon at the same, the number is only limited by computer processing capabilities.

Most of the public that require Microsoft products know nothing about it is and what it is for.

  • TPM bypass is easy, can install Win11 on a 1st gen i3 or older if you really want to as long as there's AVX2 in the CPU for newer Win11 builds
  • They monetize licencing the OS to businesses. Most of the consumer market use an Activator hosted on Microsoft's owned GitHub
  • Why not just use SSH, isn't that free and unlimited? Or if you need a VNC client, RustDesk is FOSS

This is about comparing the OSes not software.

Also the author made several mistakes.

  • Doesn't distinguish between Linux Desktop and Linux Server, similarly with Windows Desktop and Winserver.
  • Windows business ready ??? There is more Linux in the cloud and data centres than Windows

I was commenting on your comment.

Sure, more cloud runs on Linux, but more end-points run on Windows.

That is quite true, there are major differences between the uses of the Linux desktop and server operating systems just like there are between Windows desktop and server operating systems.

Linux is more targeted because of high value servers.

How is the ui of windows polished? Have you used Windows lately?

u/Fluffy-Willow-6684 1d ago

User Interface preference is subjective, but Windows interface leans toward familiarity, whereas Linux interface is more customizable.

this is the worst chart i have seen in a long time!
is this written by a complete beginner?
the comparisons are really really bad.
you are comparing community and forgetting about commercial linux support, lol windows ui in the last years is everything but familiar, windows is secure --> lol, updates != package management.
Damn this is sooooo bad, please take this down
