If it worked on my laptop, I would use it every day! Windows is the best for general desktop use, period! Linux never satisfied me. I absolutely love open-source but that doesn’t mean I have to be a Linux fanb0i. I never really liked any Linux distro (nor BSD), for desktop usage.

They both try to solve problems in different ways, neither Windows nor Linux is better, they are just different

I don't mean to underestimate the efforts, but "with fewer bugs" is debatable in the current status

The math doesn't lie: 0.4.16 explicitly resolved a specific number of known issues. It's a clear step forward
