  I really don’t see what more Windows has to offer than Linux

  Stability, updates management, built-in features (like window tiling), etc.

  Source: using Linux exclusively for almost a year now.

    Wait… Either I have bad grammar or you misinterpreted lol. I meant “Linux has more to offer than Windows”

      No, I said exactly what I said - there’s a bunch of things (e.g. stability, updates management, features (like window tiling), etc.) that Windows has and Linux does not.

      There’s A LOT Linux does great. There’s also a lot Windows does great that Linux massively fails at.

      Even some silly things like multi-screen support or saving windows positions between reboots… Lots of small things.

        Linux has all of this out of the box (don’t know about windows positions after reboot, I have never tried that even on Windows). What distro and DE are you using? I am using Arch with KDE Plasma and it has been pretty much flawless and stable for me.

    Stability? Update management? Window tiling? What? Linux does have all of these things. In fact Linux is way more stable than Windows, has better update management. Mind you, it does depend on the distro and the amount of stability you want, but I have been running Debian servers for years and I hardly run into problems.

    The only thing windows offers over Linux is gaming and a better UI. Even both of those are dwindling away. I hate the new windows 11 UI and most games work on Linux unless you require a rootkit for some anti cheat software.

      No.

      I install Windows and forget about it. I install Linux and have to do all this, and then it still might do this or this.

      Mind you, it does depend on the distro

      Agreed.

      and the amount of stability you want

      I want all the stability.

      but I have been running Debian servers for years and I hardly run into problems.

      Not talking about servers.

      But even then - at my last job we finally killed off a Windows Server that had an uptime of over 1000 days, just chugging along like a little trooper. At my previous-previous job I was responsible for the WinServer updates, every single one of them was getting monthly updates and reboots, didn’t have a single issue in 7 years. It was just shy of 100 servers.

      The only thing windows offers over Linux is gaming and a better UI. Even both of those are dwindling away. I hate the new windows 11 UI and most games work on Linux unless you require a rootkit for some anti cheat software.

      Agreed. I have Garuda Linux installed on my gaming PC and only had minor issues with three titles. It’s surprisingly frictionless.

        The most frustrating part of running Linux for me is the experience can vary so much for each person, slight hardware differences can cause odd bugs that other people don’t have, and solving them can be really time consuming because a fix that works for one distro or DE may not work on another.
