    i don’t hate windows because of design inconsistencies and imagined security differences. i hate windows because it shoves ads in my face and spies on me, and every time i dig through the registry to get it to not do that, it gets undone with the next system update.

    i use linux because it doesn’t make me do that in order to have a system i consider usable.

      Also the pulling-teeth-process of updating Windows. How does a commercial OS shit the bed on that so hard?

    Sure keep telling yourself that you enjoy all the ads, malware, garbage UI and UX, bloated size, cost, etc

    Nobody has fun using windows, they just tolerate it.

    Linux folks can get annoying sometimes, but Windows has become absolutely painful to use recently. It’s adware is absolutely disgusting, in line with everything else in corporate society. Every time I use my computer, I’m reminded that I live in a dystopia. When I get a new desktop, it sure as shit won’t run Windows.

    inconsistency with icons and design in some areas

    Sounds like a straw man argument. What Linux user would cite that as a complaint against Windows?

    (I use arch btw)

    This is so true! I would say, especially on Lemmy, but I’m so late plenty of users already made that point for me. lol

    That said, I’m just waiting for Microsoft to implement that copilot crap to finally maybe actually try to transition to linux - same reason I finally left reddit (I was basically forced off)

      Yah, I got tired of reconfiguring my windows every-time it updated.

      The little annoyances built up to a point where the 1 hour of migrating stuff over and booting up a new OS was worth it.
