You see how that works though. They express windows is apparently worse than Linux because of a survey. But I could say the same thing about I have no idea why anyone would want to use Linux and restrict themselves to an inferior product.
One survey in a browser that’s made by the os developer is fine and people just like to over react if it’s not their precious open source software. Putting up with using Linux seems like even more bullshit if you use any application that doesn’t support Linux.
I mean you probably don’t care but try running anything Adobe or commercial 3D software on Linux. It’s still pretty shit for casual gamers that don’t wanna get into the technical stuff. I’m sure there are a lot more industries that need to rely on Windows because of specialized software that either isn’t available on Linux natively or just runs like crap through wine.
Fair point with Adobe but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried gaming on Linux. Stuff just works, zero technical knowledge required. Run Steam, launch the game.
Not sure how long ago you tried gaming but Valve has done an amazing work for gaming in Linux.
Linux famously doesn’t play nice with game anticheats like EAC
The slow adoption of functional Linux anticheats in a couple of games I play is the exact reason I use a customized windows and not Linux. At least for now
Steam deck and Proton hopefully will force this issue to be solved faster in future though, here’s hoping
We could make a list of complaints about either but most people would still use windows before touching Linux. It’s that simple. Of Linux was that good , why isn’t everyone just flocking to use and develop for it. 🙄

Either way , they’re free services so who care.

That’s right, the only complaint about Windows is this one survey. 🙄

If Linux Mint was the default operating system on 99% of PCs, guess what people would be using.
