Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore
adavis@lemmy.world 1 week agoBut the comparison is different now, Linux on the desktop is better and Windows is worse.
For example, if you turn off a bunch of telemetry options instead of stopping sending data it stops collecting it. That sounds subtle but it matters. It breaks functionality that has existed for >20 years, simple things like remembering what the last command was in the run dialogue when you open it.

Uh, window was always worse. Well since at least windows XP. Linux desktop has been better for a very long time.

I think for most of us that use and understand Linux, it has been better for a while.
It hasn’t been very long since Linux has been better for your average, non techy users.

Windows XP added so many anti consumer features, along with horrible security, that it really was that bad.
While linux desktop environments added so many usable features that Windows didnt have… I would say that windows people simply didnt know.
