It works.

Which is a quality of standard that Windows does not maintain. I wouldn’t wish that garbage on my worst enemy.

i dont like linux nor use it

What is this? Arguing with a 5yo? No offense but do you genuinely believe “I don’t like X” without even explaining why could lead to interesting conversations? Do better. At least provider argument on why you like Windows (there are actually some good reasons, even for people who don’t like Microsoft) and why you don’t like Linux (there also are good reason).

You’re not actually “intersed” otherwise you’d have at least bothered to link to couple articles, videos, etc arguing either way and would have at least taken the time to write 2 sentences properly.

Blocked as I have to assume it’s either engagement bait or just the laziest person on Earth.

Linux does what I tell it to.

Windows does what it wants. Either what it thinks I want it to do, or what Microsoft wants me to do.

Considering I paid for my computer, I like having control over it. It’s that simple.

I only have to reboot when I want to, not when a corporation wants me to.

I prefer Linux audio manipulation over windows. I despised plugging in say… a PS4 controller and having to redo my audio because microsoft thinks it knows better then me.

I shake the mouse,l on Linux when I lose it and the cursor gets big.

Linux doesn’t try to think for me… it does what I tell it too.

I can just drag windows out if full screen… windows I gotta double click then drag away.

there’s so many small qol features from people that actually use PCs. microslop…I swear their employees have never used a computer before

microslop doesn’t introduce features unless they can somehow make you get funneled into some space with ads.

no ads…screw all ads

it’s not microslop

creators of Linux aren’t working at every turn to make my experience worse in order to sell me some garbage cloud solution

Linux doesn’t try to sell anything.

Linux just works…

Everything everyone else said, but also it literally has more features. KDE Plasma and apps like Dolphin make Windows look like a toy.

I use Windows at work. It’s not a personal computer. It’s a computer controlled by microsoft, capital, etc.

In my personal life I prefer freedom and control.

I like the way Linux handles updates. I like the way it handles privacy (opt-in instead of opt-out) I like the fact that I’m never forced to do anything (going to windows 11, keeping bloat software, updates) I like that it is light and quick. I like to be able to choose a desktop environment and distro. I like that it is open-source and I don’t want to use US big tech corpo. I like that it does not try to sell me anything.

I don’t like not being able to play some games and printer setup.

OP is a troll. Likes windoze and clearly states doesn’t like or use Linux so why TF even ask, especialy in a Linux community…

It doesn’t hide what’s under the hood and permits to fix/modify it. Yes, I’m a nerd.

I don’t like being used or taken advantage of. Simple as. When you have a Microsoft product, you are used by Microsoft. You PAY them for their operating system and then they SPY on your computer interactions. You buy their product and then you become their product as they make money off of tailoring ads to you based on where your mouse moves, what you click on, the contents of the files that you upload to OneDrive (that they then use to train Copilot with).

Linux is a tool. It helps me interface with the computer. It doesn’t have an agenda behind it that involves exploiting me for money. Linux is built on the assumption that humans are humans and not wealth extraction batteries.

Because of everything.

I can chose however I want it to be and behave. It won’t nag me, it won’t show me ads, my hardware will receive support for ages, it consumes less resources, it’s more responsive, I don’t need to update any drivers, it uses less disk space, installing apps is easier, changing settings is easier, backups are easier, zero maintenance , it’s reliable, it’s free and open source and it uses the same Kernel that the world runs and relies on.

I’m 42, since I was less than 8 years old until now I’ve used:

• DOS
• Windows 3.11, 95, Me, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10
• MacOS 8.1, 9, OSX 10 - 10.11

Linux:

• Mandrake
• Mandriva
• Ubuntu
• POP OS
• Elementary
• Manjaro
• Endeavour
• Debían
• Zorin
• Mint
• Fedora
• Aurora
• Bazzite
• Vanilla

That said the only thing I dislike is that my kids can’t play EA’s FC26 or Epic’s Fortnite because those companies chose to actively not support Linux on purpose. Those games are predatory gambling casinos disguised as games, but still… I wish I could have the choice to play or not play them.

But that’s a small price to pay for everything I get in return.

I’ve been running Bazzite for 2 years now. For me, it’s honestly the best computing experience I’ve ever had. I’m very happy with it and I feel joy using it every single day, I’m in love.

Mac guy… I’ll say desktop environments. It’s an advantage over both macOS and Windows. The ability to choose your desktop environment. I prefer GNOME.

I like being able to choose my desktop environment.

I like knowing I’m not being spied on (although I did set my telemetry to max telemetry).

I like how Linux will keep supporting my hardware near indefinitely.

the UI is incomparably better. the error messages are much more sensible and give you a chance to fix things.
