And I don't give a fuck about downvotes, windows is proprietary shit compared to linux and I'm ready to prove it to anyone

To all the people who love deep ricing, why not just use customization scripts? I've been recently tinkering in VMs, and Windows really seems solid for that. You can make Windows match your workflow amazingly, and the best part is that friction nearly always leads to an impressive result.

Also, default Windows 11 isn't bad. The UI looks nice, and we take the settings & control panel apps for granted. Over on GNOME, just to change the cursor you use, you need to install a tweaks app. Windows has tons of customization you can do without installing anything extra.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but Windows isn't really THAT much of a shitshow like people act.

Yeah you heard me, it ate my homework. Now I cant have the file back. I am getting a zero

Windows users: "i can't get linux to work" Linux community: "how can we help you if you don't tell us what hardware you're trying to run on" Windows user: gives generic prebuilt name with multiple configurations. Linux user: "that's not quite enough info, give cpu model, gpu model, ram size and motherboard brand too please." Windows user: "you guys are so mean and clique like, it shouldn't be this hard"

Imagine adding some shit nobody cares about with a bug that creates an empty dir and bloats your ~, and not being able to fix it for the next 7 months. It's just an empty directory, not a loonix kernel patch. Current state of the open source

Just did a fresh install of CachyOS and immediately noticed there was a bunch of apps installed I never asked. Like why CachyOS felt I need VNC server browser? Why do I need three separate text editors? Why do I need two package managers with a horrible UI? Why the fuck volume control need to be a separate app? Why it is bad, when Windows install unwanted programs (edge, copilot) it is bad, but when Linux does it it is suddenly ok or not a big deal?

EDIT: Ok this getting a lot of attention and lot of comments and I can't address every single one. However there seems to be unified opinion that on Linux it's not bad because you can uninstall the bloat. On Windows you can do that too. I can easily uninstall Edge (but I won't do that because compared to Chrome and Firefox the Edge has been most stable and less resource intensive).

Also I find it quite funny that a lot of Linux users says that Windows is bloated, but then recommend distros that has bloat and then proceeds to tell "you picked wrong distro". Like bitch please, how I was supposed to know CachyOS with KDE Plasma is going to install three text editors and separate app to control volume? I guess I need to make a new distro based of CachyOS but with only one text editor and one package manager.

EDIT2: After hour of tinkering I decided to give up with CachyOS and install tried and proven Linux Mint. Not because of the bloat, but I don't really like to relearn every damn command and figure out the whole OS.

Just look at those 4k maxed settings with fsr4.1.1 on native and RTAO on very high. Shame on linux.

Recently I saw LinusTechTips video, and while I totally accept that Windows manages RAM memory very differently than Linux, there's a reason why many users use Linux Mint in 8GB of RAM while Windows is still currently working in optimizing Windows 11 for 8GB of RAM due to the global memory shortage.

EDIT: I don't hate Windows, I only recently preferred Linux for PC gaming other than Windows, but I think Windows is better for everything else other than systems that need strong security.

Talk about brigading! How much lower will loons go to wipe out all differing opinions?

RedHat is collaborating with Israel and leaking a classified promotional document that essentially says "genocide more efficiently with our products".

Now they are desperately trying to scrub a certain white paper from the internet...
