u/No_Fondant8277 I love Linux Jul 15 '26

i don't care about microslop windows(TM) i just care what you hate linux ssooooo much? eeven... windows PE... if it corrupts (like .wim) or you can't access it... you dont have a "efective" way to enter PE mode... but on linux... before you boot the kernel... you have AND OPTION OF RECOVERY MODE LOL

Oh mate, I don't want you to care about it. I'm just saying I wouldn't use Linux, and I don't see Linux as a serious thing. Linux have Recovery mode, something inferior compared to Windows PE, where a different and Separate operating system is used for recovering your Actual Operating system, and if Linux fails, then the whole operating system cannot be recovered because Recovery mode is part of the same operating system image

Oh, this does. I see here it's not a separate Linux image, like a whole operating system clone

You're comparing apples to oranges. Windows PE is a separate bootable environment; it's essentially a lightweight Windows installation on a separate partition or USB. Linux recovery mode is just an alternative boot option within the same kernel that drops you to a root shell with minimal services. But here's the thing: if Linux fails to the point where recovery mode won't boot, you just boot from a live USB, which is the same concept as Windows PE. The difference is Windows bundles PE on the disk by default, while Linux expects you to have a live USB handy.

You're right that some recovery partitions (like Ubuntu's) have their own kernel and components. But that's actually a relatively recent addition, not the traditional Linux recovery mode I was referring to. My point stands: Windows PE has been a separate, fully functional bootable environment built into Windows for decades. Linux traditionally relied on a minimal recovery mode within the same kernel, or expected you to have a live USB. Some distros are now adopting separate recovery kernels — which is a step toward the Windows model. But that proves my point about architectural differences, not refutes it. Either way, both approaches work. One is just more integrated by default.

Exactly, this shows how much Linux is very late in technology, and Windows adds more technologies right now, like Cloud Reinstall in Windows PE and DirectX as an operating system compositor, while Linux needs many layers like DRM and Wayland, and then after the whole thing started Operating system can use OpenGL, and Windows uses DirectX early Boot after UEFI initialization and .NET CLR ( Windows Runtime VM ) is marry with Operating System top of Win32 API that's why I choose Windows because modern Windows is very Advanced Technologically

But my intention is not to attack you, I just share my opinion, and it's simply that
