Linux vs Windows value

If I have to use Windows it always feels like swimming against the current in a river of molasses

A Linux command I remember seeing is ( killall windows ) if only that were truly possible. (sigh)

I've been forced to use Windows again recently. Scarlett Solo Sound card supported natively in Linux needed a driver install and then it would fail every second start. I did manage to install an old Office license key after a forced upgrade, several restarts, a hang and attempts  to wean me off Chrome! Now I am on Win 11 so excited

The Windows 11 slogan should be " We aren't spying for the Government honest." 

What government??

Any Government that supports / allows Windows OS in there country.

To me it all feels like pain. With nuances, I can choose what pain I like best. headache, food, knee or back-pain or eyes.

Driver issues (Linux) not available software (Linux), planned obsolescence (M..-OS),
nuisance UI "upgrades" and activatio codes (W....ws).
Subscription software (everywhere) .....

Rule of thumb: if it uses Electricity, stay away from it. ... haha. ( instead of a fret saw I am using a 3d printer )

p.s. I almost forgot. Removing the "f.ck..g" bloat ware from a store bought Windows System takes almost as long as retrofitting god knows how many cnc machines. 

I started using Linux pre 2000, so I've seen Linux mature and get very much more user friendly. The biggest issue back then was the bloody so called "WinModems" for dial up internet.
To tell the truth the Driver situation is far better than Windows.
Most hardware is supported via the kernel. I'll admit bleeding edge hardware is an issue, but that can be down to the manufacturers not supporting Linux, but generally it ends up being supported. Driver installation is far less intrusive.

Bought a new printer last year, connected via the network.....30 odd minutes to the windows installer to do it's thing. My Mint box saw it straight away on the network.

To be honest I'm an exclusive Linux user, the windows machine is for my Mum, but once Win10 stops receiving updates I'm going to get her using Linux.
