It’s always funny when someone goes “It’s so hard to install”, like bro, you just press “next, next next, enter your name, finish”. Can’t get easier than that.
And Windows 10 Pro has more steps than Linux Mint. The argument has been moot for a while, but some folk need a little encouragement to unlearn what’s been parroted for decades.
Windows is easier to install because the user didn’t install it.
I must say, im impressed by windows 11 haveing an update that fucked with the gui shutdown and then next up one that just straight up made it unable to boot
Is it easier to install though?
People who use the word “fanboy” care way more than the other side, it’s like android saying it to Apple users
Use your trash while the rest of us enjoy a stable product
Stable? Are you really talking about Windows where every update is a gamble (and increasingly so)?
I use macOS, but yes windows is more stable than desktop Linux overall
I use Linux every day but it’s not useable on the desktop and nobody who knows anything about computers thinks otherwise
Is this rage bait?
Ragebait used to be believable
If you want to take it as that, and are unwilling to take advice from people with actual experience
Ah, thank you for confirming it.
I’m a sysadmin. I professionally support about 30 Windows users plus a couple hundred classroom computers, and personally my family’s PCs. And you are full of shit.
Starting December of last year, every time Microsoft released a cumulative update, I’d get an influx of OS-related issues, including:
- Microsoft Store breaking installed applications
- Broken HDMI, audio, and wireless device drivers, one of which was only fixed after a wipe and reinstall
- Bitlocker failures that couldn’t be decrypted with the key from the user’s Microsoft account
- Two occurences of a wiped EFI partition
- One occurence of a completely broken installation
- One occurence of a corrupted motherboard firmware
You can call Linux an unstable experience (though referring to “Linux” as a blanket term is nebulous and reductive to the point of irrelevance), but in the real world with real users, Windows is absolutely not a stable operating system, and far more difficult to diagnose and fix.
(edit) I almost forgot! We also had to push back an upgrade of the wifi infrastructure by a year because WPA3-Enterprise support on Windows was either broken or nonexistent on about a quarter of the computers. It was a fucking farce.
Yeah 40 years working on computers and the last stable windows OS was XP.
I have actual experience and you are completely full of shit.
You have no experience. I need a computer to get paid. No way am I using windows. Linux on the desktop is rock solid and the most productive environment available.
I manage microsoft crap for a living and tolerate the occasional Mac (what a mess its become), and I would never rely on a Microsoft product.
If you had any experience at all being on a call or in person with microsofts server, desktop, or azure teams you would know damn well that even they know its mess with contradicting advice and rules and fixes for their shit.
“not usable on the desktop” me: who’s been using linux completely without issue after setup for daily work and complex shit for over a year
I work in IT, and i think otherwise.
Stable… haha
