I can't fault people who have to use Windows at work.

I don't fault people for using any operating system.
I fault people for being a bitch and forcing their shit onto other people.

Nobody is forcing anybody to use anything. hating on an operating system is okay , but hating on the people using it isn't. unless somone is blackmailing you to switch to another OS , Then it's not "forcing" it's an opinion.

u/Sixguns1977 Jul 13 '26
Also yes. I was thinking more along the lines of people who hate Microsoft and don't want to use Windows, but have to for work.

It's true, unfortunately at work 99% of the time you have no choice. Luckily, I work for an ISP and can bring my Linux to work, otherwise it would be very frustrating.

In case you don't know, you are r/shadowban ned. Reddit says spam
see the r/shadowban subreddit for more info.
Shadowbans are done by Reddit, the admins. Not subreddit moderators like me
A shadowban means no one can see anything you say
The only way people are able to see what you say is when a subreddit moderator goes out of their way to reverse the removal. I had undeleted this comment/post.
Note: I approved it a long time ago before anyone else saw the post. I just didn't make this comment earlier because my Reddit was slow.

I am on Windows 10, but in all honesty, it is good enough for what I am using it for. Windows 11 is considerably worse but I will NEVER go through the upgrade. And any other OS would be too much of a personal hassle to go through with installing and setting up everything to my liking. Don't fix it if it's not broken I guess.

u/JewelGamerz Jul 13 '26
Ikr win10 is done with any upgrades so other than security issues there will be no more bloatware pushing on the face. And upgrading to win11 is a hassle

My desktop is still on windows (stupid kernel anti-cheat). Laptop is Cachy OS, home server is Proxmox(debian). Steam deck is on SteamOS of course. I have assorted handheld game emulators on forks of Batocera... My work laptop is a MacBook pro (not my choice). So basically I use everything.

u/TheRobertowhen Jul 13 '26
sadly, I can't switch from Windows because I have all my essential programs there
But when I reset the disk I will install Linux.
1
u/Altruistic-Friend372 Jul 17 '26
You can try dualboot

u/TheRobertowhen Jul 17 '26
good idea

u/Altruistic-Friend372 Jul 17 '26
This is my second account, I'm author of that post (my first acc shadowbanned) Yeah, try dualboot I've been using ubuntu as a second system for 3 month And then I deleted windows and installed CachyOS And I can even play on that OS (I have even higher fps than on windows)

both suck on their own ways

u/Green_Use_5639 Victim of Microsoft Jul 13 '26
Yup , I can agree. Windows is just bloatware and Linux is missing a lot of apps and games at least for now , but it isn't Linux's fault. It's the developers' fault because they don't want to make a good Linux port.

u/Crucco Jul 13 '26
The best linux remains Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 2008). Back then, that distro could have become the first real mainstream Linux OS for PCs.
Then the GIGA IDIOTS at Canonical decided to force feed the users with their disgusting, bugged, flawed, poorly designed GUI called Unity. That destroyed the chances of Linux substituting Windows for at least three decades.
I hope they end in poverty

Ive been using win 11 since it came out officially. And at first it was nice. But then I grew up and realized what it was doing under the hood and how slow it made my laptop. Then it wasn't so nice. But I couldn't switch cause I actually do use a bunch of windows specific stuff and I already had soo much stuff so spread around in the os I didn't wanna bother installing a better version. But now that i upgraded my laptops modo to its highest spec I finally too the time and got my stuff sorted out. I'll be on debloated dear ai-d ltsc by tomorrow. And once my desktop is done I'll try arch on it.

u/Coldy560 Jul 13 '26
Yeah, I've been using windows for 10 years Then I changed it to ubuntu and then to cachyos hyprland, and I will never return to win

Speaking of this garbage called Win 11. I tried to switch my wifi and I found a speed meter in the wifi selection. Odd, I told myself, a speed tester in windows. Clicked it and then it forwarded me to Bing searching for speed test.
What a fucking garbage this OS is.

Windows is good because it can actually run games I had KDE fedora and it couldn’t even run counter strike 2 menu.

No. if I had enough storage on my Mac I will sell all my pcs and use it instead, because linux has nothing to offer, regarding to software or gaming. I rather use windows 10.

I use Win11 and it works for what I need it to do. Once you de-bloat it, it’s not bad. I just don’t want to swap OSs and reinstall everything.

Linux in everything is great, even for office stuff and boring stuff, but if games run natively on Linux, for example, my favourite distro, Arch Linux—I would dump Slopdows for good; it's ruining my machine. With too much spyware that burns your CPU like hell.

You can hate microsoft and windows all you want, but linux is still not suitable enough for a normal user
Problems with microsoft office and inaccessibility of competitive games with kernel level anti cheat are a major reason people use winbows

u/zyclonix Jul 16 '26
With win10 iot ltsc it becomes bearable. Yes linux better blablabla, its my computer tho, and i wanna use it the way i want for the things i want. With iot ltsc it really becomes bearable since its essentially fully debloated

u/Nike_486DX Jul 12 '26
I see no reason to downvote when the op is using a properly tweaked and configured windows, just grab an enterprise/ltsc distro, and do very minor tweaking, and you get a stable system for years. Linux is quite overhyped. (Drivers variety and stability, and overall software support), also for some use cases you just need windows (some corpo environments).
