Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

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.

In fact Linux is way more stable than Windows

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.

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