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.
Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive

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

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

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

Not gonna mention Windows 8? Hmm I wonder why…
socphoenix@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Or vista lol, or windows 98 that was so bad they essentially recalled it and re-released it as a second version?
stoy@lemmy.zip 4 hours ago
Because it was shit.
I never claimed that everything MS did was good
