Let’s not pretend that Microslop is capable of producing good software.

I don’t know about that, XP, 2000 and 7 was pretty solid.

Not gonna mention Windows 8? Hmm I wonder why…

XP was probably their most solid OS. And that shouldn’t be a brag.

I think .net is pretty good. People love VS Code.

It’s a lot easier to accept bugs when you’re not paying for it, it’s not spying on you, it lets you do what you want, and it respects your freedom.

It is a hell of a lot less buggy
And the bugs that are there we are aware of. Microsoft may or may not fix severe security bugs, opting to hide the information instead because it’s better for their bottom line
Microsoft always had been a bug riddled mess that people paid for and then they needed to pay even more to be able to get their shit still working
Now with the AI slop apparently contributing 30% of the code, things have gone off a cliff
So no, nobody is pretending Linux is bug-less, it’s just that Microsoft is that bad

In 20 years I never had a system-breaking (or really even any noticeable) bug from an update.

It doesn’t lock you out of your C: drive

Also remember that it’s called C drive because your A and B drives are still floppy drives in 2026

The downvotes for this little nugget of truth suggest to me that linux fans are somewhat cultish.

Yeah, I made my comment as I am tired of fanboyism, I have daily driven Linux in the past, I was the Linux sysadmin at a major financial institution for years, Linux is awesome!
But please don’t get arrogant and claim it is faultless, with constructive criticism it can only get better.
Right now I am running Windows as my daily, and my work is only in Windows.
I dailied Linux back in the 2.8 days, I remember a class mate having to manually edit the kernel source code to get his USB mobile broadband modem to work, I had modems from another brand, so I only had to run USB mode switcher to get mine working.
I set up Fluxbox from scratch to get a fantastic UI experience on my laptop.
I know Linux.
I switched back to Windows for gaming, and now with W11 and gaming support for Linux, I am looking to move back to Linux.
I am no Windows nor Linux fanboy.

It’s not so much Linux fanboyism as it is Windows (whatever the total polar opposite of fanboyism is)
The only good argument for Windows is specific software compatibility. If there were equivalent solutions on both for everything, it is an absolute truth that Windows is worse.
That is not an opinion, outside of intentionally wanting to be commercially oppressed.
Also games access to your kernel just screams to me “I wanna have fun and don’t care about security at all, now gimme my fortnite vbux mom” in the most middle-school voice possible.
